    The body had a bit of wear but the motor kicked over first go when cold (Canberra winter 2007) without a problem, the compression is to factory spec, while we had the transfer box out we change the High Range gears to something with a better ratio for highway work and bought a turbo kit from Turbo Glide in Wollongong, all we have to do is finish the electrics hooking up the Isuzu into the Rangie.

    What you have is a Series 3 Stage 1. Great trucks, but worth less than 110s because of the leaf springs, drum brakes and no PAS. I have seen a few sell for the 3-4k mark - but sounds like you got a good deal.

    I seem to recall that paras are about $600 a pair new - maybe more.

    What do you mean you changed the high range ratios??? They come with 0.996:1, you can't get taller (better for the highway) than that.

    Maybe it was meant to be $2350.00, he might have got carried away with the zero's.

    At that money it would be a bargin

    As for the Rangie.......that belongs on the "What were they thinking" wall.

    IT'S A 77 Rangie, they are just about giving these things away these days and carrying all that weight with the old 3.5 carbied V8....that would make a 300Tdi or a Diesel Series look quick.

    Obviously knows his teminology though with his Oil Radiator (cooler) and Trans Radiator (also a cooler).....

    Price sounds reasonable, but it depends a lot on condition, and without pictures it is not likely to raise a lot of interest. Would also help to put the location in the Markets section as well as here.

    Edit - in view of John's following post - applies to LT95 with V8 - may or may not apply to Isuzu variants

    These specifications do not include the Isuzu engined variants - all 110s with it had 0.996, at least with the LT95, and I think so did the Stage 1 Isuzus.

    Sorry, but those are the V8 specs.

    As JD said above, the 4BD1 was 0.996:1
