    Well after the sales pitch by Garry and DasLandRoverMan I now have a Detroit on the way. As mentioned in the Aussie 101 thread ARB's are now essentially available on request from AJ so will keep this in mind with the front diff.

    Tomorrow I will be dropping all the final hydraulic bits that need an overhaul off to get quoted and if I can pick myself up off the ground after they will stay there to get made new and improved with stainless sleeves.



    Otherwise tomorrow I also plan to get myself a dial gauge and re-assemble the front drivers hub and disc brake kit, and give the front diff a final clean before refilling with oil. Will really get into it again with a brush and rag to clean as much crap as possible out.

    Not sure whats next out of the driveline. After reading others install attempts with the Detroit it sounds like its better off leaving it to an expert so may just start on the rear hubs and order some extra seals so it can be pulled down again to get the Detroit put in later.

    Huh

    Not sure what you have been reading but a detroit can be put in the back with no real mechanical experience in about 3 or 4 hours.

    Easy peasy.

    When I read your thread I thought you said you took it too a mechanic to get it setup! I must go back and read it again properly!

    If and when my 4.7:1's turn up, I'll be fitting the Detroit in the next few weeks.. Will give you some pics, but as said before, its not hard to do.

    Yeh I was reading it last night and got to the below post and sort of stopped there. If I'd read more carefully I would have realised it only needs to go to the specialist if the pinion bearing was removed and played with.

    I take it provided only the differential comes out it should go back in exactly the same way. Coming with the diff are two new bearings and shims. Ron's got some helpful posts a few pages back about using bearing blue to confirm the diff is the same on re-assembly. I guess if the pattern made in the bearing blue is completely different I know then to take it to the specialist.

    Not me, I did my own - there is nothing to set back up with the detroit - remove diff - put in the detroit and reinstall - there is more to it but that is the executive summary.

    Rule of thumb.
    Detroit is easy do at home stuff........rear diff.
    ARB is a lot lot harder............ front diff

    About $1085 to get all that lot in the picture overhauled, stainless sleeves etc. Most expensive item was the booster, otherwise all the costs seem quite reasonable.

    They charge $6 per flare if I want them to sort my flares out too. That means a $100 tool would get me 16 quality flares. Something to think about. Need to pull all the old pipes out and figure out the layout so I can make up new ones.

    Buy yourself a flarer - don't forget that you can do fuel lines, as well as domestic plumbing with the thing and if you ever damage a pipe you can replace it at your leisure. Plus it can be used on the next Rover when the 101 is finished

    Cheers Charlie
