No worries Dean. I did do it when I registered, but it didnt appear. sorry.

Thanks mate, I give that a check, its a good thought.

Hello all. I've got a problem with the ute. Jamie suggested I start a therad here in the tech section. I have a triton dual cab 4G64 EFI 16v. When started, it blows no smoke. After a few secs it starts blowing lots of greyish blue smoke. After about 30 secs it slows, then stops. Fills the...

I hear what your saying. If youre doing on for yourself, or a mate, give it a go. The results are worth it. Only hot rod joints do purging- at a price!! Happy birthday!
