typical, won't be here till 8th ... sorry lads, have a good one. :(
-
Im going with Rodge and Kev . Gonna all go up in my statesman to give it a run.... can't wait ;D ;D
-
Thought you would have spent the week polishing those wheels Johnno and bought along for the cruise. :)
-
Golly ,,,if i brought my truck, by the time i got there it would be dark and the whole show would be over ;D ;D
So thats why we are going to let some 5 litre EFI goodness deliver us in style :) :) ;)

John

Cheers Rogerfied

Damn...could've put her in neutral and coasted all the way there ;D ;D ;D

Sorry Guys... I wont be able to get to the York car show as I will be heading off to Narrogin (2 hrs from Perth) to pick out a new pup for myself. Been waiting a long time for the parents to breed so finally they have pups on the ground.!
Miss me ,johnno ;D
-
No worries Johnno, I've spoken to Rogerfied earlier today, he'll come to my place and I'll drive to Mc's and meet up with Truck on Sunday, then go to York. Pity you can't make it mate, sounds like a great day out.
Cheers.
-
Sorry to hear Johnno hope to catch you next time. You could always take back road 137k's from Narrogin to York and show the little fella off.
All on track to meet at Maccas's with Rog, KT and others as planned.
-
You have fun Greg...Take some pics and put em up for everyone if you can :) :)

Hi Guys
Won't be able to make it this time , I have other commitments and the bus still has issues with water mixing with the oil in the transmission.
She should be ready for an outing one of these days, Any runs planned in the foreseeable future?
-
Yep working on a drive in night and a run to the coke meuseum in todyay
-
gday bean its the trans cooler line in the radiator its corroded through and that's where the water's coming from Cheers merlin
-
Thanks Merlin.
The guy that did the diff and breaks has suggested that when I redo things that I re pipe the system, at the moment it has a radiator and a cooler in front of the radiator, both water cooled, he suggested that the engine go with the conventional water cooler and the transmission run an air cooled system through the front one , keeping them separate and preventing it from happening again
any thoughts?
-
Have heard of the trans cooler splitting in the radiator as well, but on a plastic tank type. BF ford and was still under warranty.
1 new transmission later......
Mine came with an after market cooler that fits on the drivers side in the area opposite where the heater sits.
sits nicely next to the radiator. :)
-
Yeah id be inclined to disconnect the radiator Ones and fit an independent external one.
Radiator water gets hot so transmission oil will stay hot as well.
an independent external one will cool better and no chance of water entering oil or vise versa.
Old car air cond condensers make excellent big ass transmission oil coolers.
-
Great day, great weather and met a few more BUGA's Kev n Craig.
Here's some pics for ya Johnno and the LWB was my old van before I did up SWB but was cream in colour. Hope all went well collecting your new family member.

Great to meet you guy's (and girl) on Sunday for the York Motor show. Your CF is awesome Truck,

Sure was a great day and it was good the rain held off too. Thanks for organizing the meet up.
Thanks also to Obsession to for meeting Rogerfied and myself on our way home ... I really appreciated your time and help with the parts mate, hopefully, you can drop by sometime and check out my CF project.
