Good Afternoon to you all, Hope all well at your end by the Grace of the Almighty. The Stallion was completed on the 04th Dec 2020, and all went well by the Grace of the Almighty. Took me 10 Days to get her sorted, as in between we had customers' vehicles coming in and out of the Workshop, hence had...

Evening Andy, Thank you for your swift response to this. I feel very comfortable with your advice and will replace the Main & Con Rod Bearings. Secondly, in regards to the Oil Pump, I have not dismantled the Pump, but is there a way or need to prime the Oil Pump during installation? We've experi...

Good Afternoon to all here, Hope all well at your end by the Grace of the Almighty. The Stallion has had an issue in regards to the Crankshaft where the Pulley sits slid on the Half Moon Key. Somehow the Half Moon Key managed to dig its way on the Crankshaft and almost damaged the Pulley. I'm attach...

Stallion

Afternoon Andy, Yes that's a good idea, I'll post some pics or a short video clip of how I've done the Diff Breathers on the Stallion, currently, the Stallion is sick and I had to remove the Engine from her in order to get something fixed, that I'm going to post in a while in a different topic :frus...

Stallion

Good Evening Tim and Andy, Thank you for your responses. I managed to get them done on my own, and didn't route the tubes all the way to the Engine Bay, what i did was, raise the tube upwards and then routed them into a "U" Turn facing the end downwards :-), used good quality Adapter for t...

Stallion

Good Evening to all, Hope all are well by the grace of the Almighty. I refer to the above mentioned subject. Here in Tanzania, I haven't come across any Differential Breather Kits so far for the Hilux 4wd. I therefore would like to have anyone's opinions here for a DIY Differential Breathers, that w...

Stallion

Good Afternoon Andy Thanks for your swift response as usual. I'll try the Oil Change first if the Sound gets serious, and yes, as you stated, it doesn't sound serious yet to bring the Transmission down, so I'll keep her going for now and later change the oil to 90W140 so see if it'll help. Regards S...

Stallion

I was also thinking, that if the humming becomes a little serious, then I'd go for a 90W140 Gear Oil first, before bringing the Transmission down. What do you think on this?

Shermohamed

Stallion

Good Morning Andy, Thank you for your swift response on this. Noted in regards to the bearing, I'm thinking of letting it go for now if it's the bearing issue in the box for the 3rd gear, and when it needs more attention, then I'll bring the Transmission down for tear up and rebuild. What do you thi...

Stallion

Also Noticed that, it only humms during those speeds and revs, only when I'm on uniform acceleration, if I deaccelerate, the humming goes away. Was driving completing my errands, and was noticing at the same time, so noticed this also.

Shermohamed

Stallion

Good Evening gents, Hope all well at your ends by the Grace of the Almighty. I refer to the above subject. Yesterday while returning from the Farm, when reached town, I noticed a humming sound in the Stallion when on 3rd gear, first I thought the sound was the Front RHS Wheel Bearing, but then I not...

Thank you Pieter, and Andy, the Rev Counter problem hasn't shown so far after solving the matter, infact i've noticed that it reads smoother so far. Drove her today for 37kms and by the Grace of the Almighty, the Steed is running smooth. :yahoo: Thanks once again for all your assistance and response...

Stallion

N.B. I uninstalled the Distributor after inspecting the current into the Distributor from the Ignition Switch, that checked out to be okay, then took the Distributor to the store, where they measured the Coil, Magnito and Ignitor and found the Ignitor to be faulty. The store uninstalled the faulty I...

Good Evening to all, I've run into a problem in my Stallion, and all of a sudden. She won't fire up, checked the fuel lines with the fuel pump, they checked to be okay. Removed the Spark Plug Wire # 1 and tested for Spark, she isn't Sparking, I hope it's not the Distributor, as I had replaced it on ...

Good evening to you all. I hope all well at your end by the grace of the Almighty.

Good Evening Eric, Thank you for your response on this. It was my mistake that i didn't look at the ECU closely on Saturday Evening when i'd returned from the Farm and got a call from the Electrician. I took a closer look at the ECU today this Morning, and called the Electrician again to show me whe...

Stallion

Good Evening Eric & Andy, Thank you for your responses. I've not noticed the Color Bands of the Resistors, but will check tomorrow by the Grace of the Almighty. Both of you are correct when you say that the replacement ECU may not be the actual problem, this is why I wanted to know what would ca...

Stallion

Good Morning Andy, I Hope all well at your end by the Grace of the Almighty.

Good evening Haboob,

Thanks for your response to my query, and yes, I always avoid riding the clutch, as that would wear down the clutch plate, unless if I installed a copper clutch

Got it sorted by the grace of the Almighty.

Was the Stalk switch contacts dirty. Got them cleaned with WD40, and now the pass beam also works.

Thanks all for your Co operation. Thanks Mud Dog.

Regards
Shermohamed

Stallion

I'm still inclined to think it's the stalk switch or even the connection block / wiring for the switch that's faulty even though you have replaced it with a second hand one. From what I understand is that the problem was 'solved' with the switch replacement, but has now returned. That would indicat...

Stallion

It might be the lights relay is faulty? Would it behave like this if the light's relay was faulty? Other thing is, since I got the vehicle, the "pass " beam doesn't work, when you pull it to pass, the sign of the high beam appears on the Dash ( blue in color ), but the head lights doesn't...

Hey guys, Good evening and hope all well at your ends by the grace of the Almighty. The problem with my high beams is back again. The switch that I replaced from the used stores is as good as new. The contacts are clean, but yet the same problem has returned of the high beam wouldn't work when chang...

Stallion

Forgot to mention why I replaced the light switch. The plastic bracket that held the light switch in place, had cracked, hence not giving contact to the high beam. Cause I managed to get another complete switch, I opted for replacement. The old switch is with me, and will repair the crack and keep i...

Good Evening Guys, Thanks, Nic for your response. I solved the problem, removed the complete switch & got a replacement of a complete switch from the used stores, only that the wiper switch on the replacement was of an older version where the Interval timing for the wipers was manual, not automa...

Thank you guys, your responses are really of assistance and I sincerely appreciate them.

I got my friend to get another breakdown truck that towed the DAF to the other yard.

Good to know about all this.

Stallion

Thanks Mud Dog,

The truck cannot be started as the engine is to be overhauled, therefore the truck won't have any brakes on her at all.

Guess I better ask my friend to get a breakdown truck to Tow her.

Thanks guys.

Thank you Tim and Johan, If I got you correctly, you meant to engage the transfer case but with the front hub locks on the free position? If that's correct, it wouldn't damage the transfer case?
