I just installed this kit on mine, I had a split intercooler hose and had been driving around with it for 2 weeks or so till I found it yesterday . Kit arrived this morning which was amazing shipping time . I'm gonna say the opposite to everyone else here , it's made hardly any difference as far...

I will follow those instructions exactly as directed. I haven't had a chance to jack her up yet , as its been raining all the way from Melbourne and I lack the required equipment . I didn't realize how high you can put the boost up on these units , I now have it set at 13.4 and I can definatly...

I will run with that when I get inspired to do it. I like to cut corners sometimes and it usually bites me in the ass lol best to do it right the first time. Old tony , Just wondering on your teknosha p3 how much boost did it take to lock your van brakes? I know yours is twin axle and mine...

That's reassuring then . Glad my efforts weren't in vain! Note to self , invest in proper wire stripers , not the crimping/cutter type I have.

Thanks for that mate. I probably jumped the worst possible wire for my brake though , I spliced in off my pedal . Done my head in trying to strip the wire and splice in under the dash . But I my reasoning was that I have to run one less wire from the rear to my cab : )

I might try jumping off the ctek with big cable and 75 amp Anderson plugs. I have a few concerns , 1)might not work 2 ) batteries are different brands , one is an optima and other is some make of deep cycle . I'm worried I might wreck my batteries if I join them up . I'll try it and see how...

Just wondering if I'm on the right track with this . I was thinking about how I'm going to wire my battery that is mounted under my tray in the ute ,to my battery in the caravan. I have a ctek charger mounted next to the battery under the tray and im wondering if I should just jump off the ctek...

Just watched a bit of your vid . That's the correct way to do it on the 12 nav . The guy who did my install did it like that . No need to remove cup holders , it all mostly pops off if you are carefull.

Thanks for the pointers mate. From what I have read the tekonsha are the best unit going , so I won't waste money buying rubbish then having to replace it later. I will use 6b&s cable with a 20 amp breaker or probably a 10 amp (single axel) . I will try and find an install manual for the unit...

I should also note mine are not from the group buy either . My mechanic explained to me that with modern braking systems they will only allow you to apply a certain amount of brake preasure abs Vdc ect . But saying that I haven't had to stop in a hurry yet either . I wouldn't think length would...

I got a question guys , I just fitted steel braided throughout my 12 d40 stx and I honestly can't feel much difference in the pedal feel . The only difference I do notice is when I'm stopped I can't push the pedal as far down as I used to be able to . Is it me or is this something everyone else...

I thought someone would tell me that lol but I hoped it wouldn't be said : ) fires are scary so I'll play it safe . Thanks for the feed back. Old tony, can you tell me if it's a big job to do an electric brake control install ? Buying a van next week and I think ill have to install one...

I had yoko geolanders on my old challenger , never had an issue . Good traction in the wet probably better the my Mickeys , though it was a less powerful vehicle the my nav. I seen the geolanders recently and the tread pattern looks like it has changed . I liked my Yoko s . You should get Mickey...

Finally got new head unit in today . Reverse camera working sweet, steering wheel controls working . A word of warning to all new nav owners , only buy plug and play units other units will not work with your aerial ,steering wheel controls , and other accessories . They cost more but they work...

Job done! Finished late this afternoon and all is working fine . Ctek is pumping out good voltage, checked the voltage on the aux battery whilst charger is running and I was getting just over 15 volts and my voltmeter in the cab was reading about 14 volts in the cab. I'm guessing the difference...
