Thread: Whinge Warning

Nah - the love affair isn't over. You've just had a slap round the nuts for not treating it with respect
They aren't meant to be pretty, or rust free - but should always be indestructible. Transfer case is one of the few areas that will stop you dead so should be real high up on the spend list.

Sort out the transfer and drive it some more.....
Its November now, so I expect to see the "I love my Isuzu County" post by Christmas

Steve

gaaah mate I feel for you. It's so annoying when you've spent all the money on the good stuff and the one thing you didn't replace makes the bang noise.

When this happened to me I decided I was already in to deep. Clearly the answer to spending too much was to spend more and 'finish the job'.

If only I could have two you would already have a PM

We'll see Steve, we'll see
I did see a really nice video on Thurs night of 3 great Isuzus up in Cape York and the heart skipped a beat
The other problem was , that up until this failure , the g'box and TC have not exhibited any signs of problems or made any undue noises?

Thanks Flagg , you may be right.

On top of the TC rebuild will probably be;

Have to fit some sort of good aircond and a Defender heater to maximise cooling and cabin pressurisation. A new LROCV member just down from QLD has fitted an old Transit van console to the rear of his and he just about freezes when it's running on 1

Fix leak on RHS front swivel joint.

Full brake reline and wheel cylinders?


We're still not on speaking terms yet.
He's across the road on the nature strip sulking.
After I fix the Stage One starter I might go across and clean all the dust off and degrease some bits and see how I feel

Hi
Had that problem with a RRC

It was the centre diff in the transfer box.

Locked up solid , not fun when one minute doing 60ks and the next all four wheels lock up with out warning.

Had to take off both props so I could move it.

Certainly sounds like a centre diff to me, a relatively easy fix in the LT95 and can be done with trans in situ.

These gearboxes are 1950's tech, and built like blocks of concrete

You'll love it again after its fixed

If it's the center diff, send it off to JackMac Jack McNamara - Differential Specialists for replacement with his one piece unit , it's a much better, stronger design. He does an excellent, professional job, and he's great for a yarn too.

This is what I did, was one of the first things i did. He also supplied different (stronger) washes. I then gave them to the guys who rebuilt it for me.

What sort of money are we talking for these JacMac ones?
