THE MRS 96 3.1td WIZard

[MUVIT]

changing out the radiator hopefully this week, just waiting for the 2.td rodeo shroud 2 turn up. the factory plastic one is starting 2 crack. so im guna try & stick a rodeo copper radiator in there 2 replace it. wil post pics

[MUVIT]

I changed the timing belt also while the radiator was out

[MUVIT]

Cut a hole throught the radiator support for trans cooler lines.
the trans cooler is a derale, i mounted it between the condensor & the radiator

[MUVIT]

the 2.8td rodeo radiator's core is not as wide as the 3.1td
i removed the lower radiator support tabs so it would fit

[MUVIT]

heres the left overs, ill hang on to them in case if i fit a 3.1td pwr alloy radiator one day.

[MUVIT]

after the test drive ,The engine temp sits at 1/3
thats in the middle of the day 39degrees with A/C set at 23degres
The trans seems to shift better, id like to put a temp gauge on it tto see where it is
but towing a boat should a breeze now at 120kph

The Mrs will part with $1000 for new shocks. kinda of set on the bilsteins but not sure which holden model i should go for.......Frontera? Jackaroo?

[MUVIT]

If its coil rear its the same as jackaroo or close enough. All the books here tell me mine has a pin at the top but really its a metal clad eye same as the jackaroo

[MUVIT]

righto, im in brisbane at the moment, but i think your right that the rear are eye to eye.
