Not really new

[Nat bax]

Hey all
Been a member for a while but not said hello for some reason. Any way finally decided to say hello, so Hello. Also kinda wanna show off my Nav, wanted a ute/ pickup since being a kid and finally got a new D40 last year and today finally got my bully fitted with spots. Got an awesome deal from Albany ARB and well pleased with the result. Just gotta pay for it now.
Again hello.

I know what you mean, when it went bang I had second thoughts about nissan, but when it was in the shop it was like I was in mourning and couldn't wait to get it back.

Hey I reckon there all the same, I've looked on forums for hilux, ranger and all the rest. They all have the same and their own problems. I got mine because of a great price, comfy interior and the wife saying it's the best looking one. And I've only done a bit of fourby-ing and it does the same as the rest.

 

[navtruckchic]

Ye that's it, they all do the same thing in the end

G'day and Welcome mate.

What actually went wrong for a replacement engine at 20,000? Must of been a dud from the start.

Welcome! Nice truck!

Welcome to the forum!

I'm also curious about what could kill the engine after 20,000km. I know you weren't on the grid last Sunday, so that's not it ...

The problem with nissan now is that they arn't all nissan the engines are poached from other manufacturers. I think the TD42 was one of the last Diesel engines nissan made themselves. I think you were just unlucky, if you do the right mods they should go the distance. Have fun with it.

Cheers. Brad.

So they tell me and I am surprised they did, but when they built the engine someone/thing put an extra spring washer in, on around one of the tappits (can't spell). Now I always said it had no power, others were in high range whilst I was struggling in low range and finally when we were 30 km from anywhere it just stopped and would not restart. Now this washer thing dislodged and resulted in bent valve rods, knackered crank and totalled the whole lot. So new engine please.
