Funny thing is utes only have the pbr brakes on rear even with 6 pot brembos on the front. I think they started with the option of brembo 4 pot on rear but they suffered from brake bias...

Very impressive write-up mate. Well done

So what if the Expensive Daewoo utes handle better on the road unloaded. Traction is overrated and it is far more fun drifting around a corner than huggin it. If you wanna race buy a race car. Ford are right in keeping them practical for the real world...

Nice choice there. You wont be disappointed with those machines...

I was shocked at how heavy these covers are the first time I took one off. They look good but certainly weigh you down a bit...

Makes you wonder whats goin on in their heads??

Apparently the engineer who signed off on the tank design was fired from fords development team. He now works for Holden...

If looks arent important you cant beat driving the tuned up fords

Offset rears......Nice work Thought was only possible for the sedans...

Nothing beats coming first... When your driving that is

If they are so dangerous wouldnt they speed limit the utes more? My ba ute is limited at 230km/h from factory and doesnt have this tailshaft??

Easy enough to get the same horsepower as a prime mover but a bit tougher to get the torque

Do you get a choice of repairer or is that up to them too???

Me and a mate carted a 2 tonne machine on the back of a 1tonne au ute from sydney to perth a couple of years back!! It took us 58 hours and we only blew 2 tyres running 40psi on the rears

standard clutch and 2t towing just dont mix unfortunately...

The higher the boost you run the hotter the engine will run... 17psi doesnt sound over the top but I would have expected more with your mods... I run 10psi max for 330rwkw and have less mods...

Insurance companies cannot deny a claim based on modifications as long as it is roadworthy. In saying that though your pink slip should be enough proof that it is roadworthy. They can however reduce a claim based on the fact that you didnt disclose such mods at the time of insurance. This means that an extra excess or an increased premium can be applied to your claim if they realise which is what you would have had to pay anyway if you had told them originally. Assessors are more intent in finding out if you were breaking the law at the time. Speeding, unlicensed, ANY amount of alcohol, etc, will give them grounds to deny a claim. As long as you have not gone way over the top with mods it is very unusual for them to notice. I have heard that you cannot go up more than 2 inches on your factory rim sizes to be insured also...

My T5 has been perfect for running 330rwkw in my ba ute for 2 years now but the standard clutches dont stand a chance on the dyno, they just keep slipping. The clutch is the weakest point in the driveline and once upgraded you shouldnt have a problem if you drive smart...

Clocked 76000 in my 03 ba ute... tuned at 50000 to 330rwkw and has never skipped a beat. Awesome motors in these

polished

No additive is required when using Castrol SAF-XA 80w-140... it is designed specifically for lsd's

Had similar problem in my ba ute with manual gearbox but only after driving a fair distance like 30mins or more... I have replaced the engine mounts before with no luck so I guess its the diff but only when the diff oil is hot. Changed diff oil the other day and so far so good...
