NEED HELP PLEASE

[Truck]

Hi Maureen,

Agree with Rumax and before selling check with transport dept. as they will clear up the question of towing capacity and also be able to give some information on draw bar requirements. Overall the power of engine will keep you cruising but might take a little longer to get there and will most likely make some hills feel like mountains.

Thanks for your advice, much appreciated...

Hi Maureen, George again, try these unlikely suspects, if they can't help with your motor  then know one can. Good luck. Feel free to email me if you need any other advice, that's what makes BUGA number 1.

Warren,

Hi Mureen

If you are using an a frame I would think the van should tow it, the holden 6 and trimatic is a pretty good combo, do you know what ratio your diff is, that has an effect on preformance and cruising speed, and when bedfords came out they had a ration of 4:00 to 1 and they would only get up to bout 80kph. Thats why you see talk of "Highway Diffs"  they tend to have ratios between 3.5 to 2.87 for improved top speed cruising.

With its weight near 3 tonnes thats preety heavy, Id be looking to put the van on a diet or possibly go for a later model 5 speed auto (with overdrive) to better use the power of the engine.

APPARENTLY I'M A GUMBIE[

Gumbys are recurring characters in Monty Python's Flying Circus, characterized by a very distinctive appearance. Gumbys are portrayed with toothbrush moustaches, wear handkerchiefs on their heads[1] which are knotted at the corners, wire-rimmed spectacles, braces, Fair Isle knitted tank tops, a 1950s shirt rolled up to the elbows (without the detachable collar), trousers rolled up above their knees and gumboots. The characters usually hold their arms in an ape-like position, speak loudly and slowly, and pronounce words syllable by syllable. Though created by John Cleese, the Gumbys were most often played by Michael Palin. Graham Chapman, Terry Jones and Cleese also had noticeable solo turns as Gumbys. Palin's Gumby voice was used to announce the show title in series three
