Thread: Upgrading from 02 TD5 to the 2004 TD5

my 2 cents

For the small cost of replacement airbags (every TEN years or so)
why on earth would you want coils??

Its the same engine/T-case/box combo,, so performance would be similar,,
that said,, the tanks should also transfer,,

i went from 01 7seat to 04 5seat both bought new.

you wont notice the claimed increase in torque....mine is the classic came with leather &reverse sensors which are handy & a few other extras.
the headlights...they are much better.the 04 also seemed quieter & smoother.

what i do notice is the front points downwards when empty..the other with air suspension stayed level

those extra tanks should bolt onto an 04 model

the leather on the drivers seat on mine is starting to crack,i do rub that leather cleaner carer stuff into it regularly.

the cdl is also handy

my 04 is the best of the three i have owned by miles....hardly a problem...could be because it was last of model run..in fact so good i took out the extended warranty & hope to keep it at least another few years

no ace no air suspension...less to go wrong

thats my 2cents worth



ooh...i kept the 16 inch rims..didnt want those 18's..there not much good in the sand or off road....but they do look good

cheers

I have an 02. Have had the transfer changed so now have a cdl. Also had the chip re done so now has much better performance. With 200k on the old girl now I don't think I'll get much for her so will just keep her going till she dies.
I know a few who have changed the sls to coils and been happy with the results and lack of problems.
There...thats my 2 cents too
