Thread: The birthday present .. a remap

Wow. That's a lot of van (& weight) to pull up the range .. I'm not surprised you found it .. umm - slow! Do you know what weight you were towing? It'd have to be near 3 to 3.5 tonne wouldn't it. Definitely the right vehicle to tow with.

It was close to 3.5; I don't think we will carry water next time - fill up tanks at first c/park instead!

How's the remap going Steve?

Pete ... how does awesome & stunning sound ! The trip to Dubbo last week showed the vehicle brilliant to tow with. The pick up when towing is nothing short of amazing especially when passing trucks up hills. The trip was only marred by the failure of one of the top two turbo hoses ... sprang a leak 60 kms west of Warwick. In 2 places actually .. a 1cm long split and a hole the size of a match stick head. Duct tape is a marvellous thing. Wrapped half a role of it tightly around the offending area and nursed the car back home.

Cheers
Steve

Great result.

Good pick up on the turbo hose problem. I bought some rescue tape from Supercheap in case of that problem. Where were the holes? Was the slit along the hose clamp?

The slit was along the bend in the hose and the hole was in the straight part. Actually they were only found by squeezing the hose and seeing the damage. The difference when the new one was fitted was remarkable.
