    Leave the factory weight flywheel and will still drive exactly the same.  We compensate for rotating mass by increasing the idle...............

    Pumps aren't really expensive like they used to be , aftermarket  replacement would be advised.

    Injectors - I think you swap the primary injectors out with some secondary ones (or some larger ones with the secondary ones in the primary place) then you only need two off

    New work ute ... what to buy?

    Done 13k in the work ute - new triton since getting it before christmas...............

    If you want a ute for the purpose of lugging stuff around id go for last of the old shape hilux

    Triton is alright and has dragged some stuff I didn't think it would , to be honest im impressed, however there is just those niggley things that annoy me already.

    • - After driving around the hilux it seems laggy , boost dont really start to wind up till about 1800rpm , takes a while to get moving in the traffic and then wham-mo. 
    • - The Hi-beam switch is double click fucker instead of flick off.............
    • - passengers seat belt always gets logged between the plastic and the seat..............then rattles 
    • - So much higher to lift things onto that the old hilux
    • - Tray resonates alot more often , Hilux would only do it on gravel roads in the right conditions
    • -Had it a month of so without the towbar and uphill in first gear felt like the uni's were out of whack , extra weight or time has sorted that.
    • - bushes in the rear leaves are already making that annoying squeaky noise when you rock the truck.

    Has more boogy than the hilux , but Id rather a hilux

    Hill start assist makes you pretty lazy..........................
