Rusty62 Hi mate, good to hear you are getting back on the road again, we may pass each other somewhere. We are picking up the new van tomorrow and going to Bunbury for a few days then moving. We haven't worked out which way home yet. I watch water temp and AT temp on the scan gauge. As you say the Toyota gauge is hardly worth having when you see how much and how quickly it can go up if the tranny is unlocked. I have been letting the ATT move up to approx 96 before I drop back to 4th and is also amazing how fast the temp drops as well. I think anyone towing should invest in a Scanguage. I have found in the last few weeks I have a bit of freeplay when engaging reverse, nothing in forward gears there is a fair size clunk. I read up PP on the tailshaft Clunk/thunk as they called it, and greased the shaft spline, but no difference. Have you had any experience with this. It doesn't seem to be worrying anything when moving. I still have my Catch can as I just don't want to go through the job of cleaning the inlet manifold again. What a job. I better start doing something constructive. Will you be towing with the 100 or the beast through the Territory. OK mate. have a good one. Take care and cheers Bill. Hello Young, thanks again.

The T/C lock and oil cooler will keep the temps in the gearbox under 85 deg.
On the tail shaft clunk we had the shaft replaced at 40000 km but it came back shortly after and now 260000 + still clunks but doesn't seem to cause any issues. The freeplay you speak of could be old oil in the tranny. Do a quick part flush and use only Toyota WS oil. You will find the instructions on PP.
The 100 will be used for our lap as the Bushtracker is 3500kg. Just a bit to much for the Prado.
For those who have not spoken to Young he is one very good man.

His advice to place a towel under it is well worth it, saved me removing bash plates to find it when I dropped the blank. Doing it when the engine is cold is some advice that I should have heeded as well :P

Really keen to see if you get a noticeable performance increase from that mate, I haven't done the clean yet as I'm waiting for assistance from someone who is more competent than I on the tools- I'm sure I could take it apart, but putting it back together correctly is a bit daunting for me :P
I actually saw a part in my Toyota workshop manual that must be for overseas models without an EGR system. It's basically a bypass pipe for the coolant- Looks like it'd be a good way to declutter the engine, but it'd also make it obvious to anyone that inspects it that the emissions system has been tampered with. I have seen guys on the facebook groups removing them but I'm not that game personally.

whats the Facebook page I’d like to have a look and see what’s involved in removing the egr system altogether,

well I started with intentions this morning but I couldn’t get that clip off and then when I saw where the EGR plate goes I thought bugger me I can’t get my hands in there, so I went ahead and installed the manual mapper minus the egr block, I’m going to see my mechanic mate next week and get him to do the egr block. Haven’t taken it for a drive yet.
