Re: 3.1 Auto swap to a 2.8 Manual

Yeah getting it certed would defeat the purpose of doing on the cheap.
You have been a great help.
I guess I'm going to have a 2.8 motor and trans for sale soon ....

Re: 3.1 Auto swap to a 2.8 Manual

Thanks for the info.
So installing the 2.8 trans and motor will work.
But installing just the rodeo manual trans to the 3.1 will require certification?

3.1 Auto swap to a 2.8 Manual

I've managed to get my hands on a 2000 4wd Holden Rodeo. The rego is dead but the motor trans and suspension extra are mint.<br/>My touring wagon is a 1997 Wizard, 3.1 Auto.<br/>I'm going to strip the Rodeo down and take as much panels, interior, suspension as I can and also drop the motor and trans ...

Re: Front Wheel, bad toe out

Thanks for the info everyone.
Looks like it might be the wrong knuckle.
I have taken the lower ball joint out and it appears to be correct.
I have some pics but even on the lowest resolution settings they are too big.

Re: Front Wheel, bad toe out

Thanks a lot, I'll have to pull the current one out and check it. I can't tell the difference currently.

Re: Front Wheel, bad toe out

The vehicle is lifted but had an alignment and was fine before the knuckle change.
Hasn't had a ball joint flip.
I have a new ball joint that was supplied by BnT.
I'll take the old one out and compare them.

Re: Front Wheel, bad toe out

Hello, I should say camber I think. The top of the wheel leans in towards the vehicle.
The ball joint I was given was off a two door MU.

Installing remote locking system

So trying to set this up in a 1997 Isuzu Wizard. The power supply is easy but making it unlock/lock is not working. I've found the wiring and it seems to be a positive trigger ( when I use the lock/unlock knob on the door it sends a 12v signal to my test light). I've tried all the configurations in ...
