I would go and see a sparky, they should find the problem quickly.

If it is the alternator that is dodgy Ed it is under warranty with Ultra tune, so not keen to throw money at a sparky if it is covered

For sure Rod, did not know where you got it,



I would drop in to Ultra Tune & ask them to look at it for you.

Hey Ed, yeah was one of the plethora of items that got replaced whilst the motor was out. Popped in briefly after work yesterday which is how I found out the battery was starting to show it's age (they tested it). Will definitely drop it back and leave it as the alternator is under warranty. Was mainly looking to see if it was something simple I could fix first

Ute is going in Saturday and they are fairly certain it is an internal issue with the alternator. Apparently the supplier wants them to check a couple of things with the wiring loom and if that checks out ok alt will be getting replaced under warranty. Also getting a couple of new O2's thrown in for good measure.
On another note, next week Brad is doing me a killer deal on a tune, so looking forward to seeing the results of that

Great stuff Rod.

Cheers Ed, hoping to get that Space shuttle fuel appetite down a fraction lol

Hopefully Brad will sort it for you.

Yes, I asked him about the O2's and he said absolutely replace them. They may even be the originals.

Another thing that is on the never ending list is the fuel sender. The fuel guage is about as accurate as me pissing after 15 cans of Coopers Sparkling Ale. I assume it is a buggered sender unit. From what I have read it is accessed via a panel in the tray. I will need to remove the hard liner in the tray to access it though. How hard can that be lol.

You should fit a decent Walbro pump at the same time, ready for that blower.

Might as well I suppose

Might cam it down the track, but not sure I want two blown cars.

When I was quiet during Covid I ordered & built a fuel system for the Crewie, now too fucin busy to fit it aye! As Ed said great time to fit a larger capacity Walbro in tank job as they are cheap & easy to fit.

Depends exactly where. If the panel is in the back or front corner you should be able to get away without removing the whole liner? The whole liner in my SSV ute was out a couple of times but of course I didn't do it. From memory about 15 min or less with 2 guys???

VU ute, there is no access panel, sender unit in these things is drop tank job to access. Gaz SSV VE? Same though bigger job, tailshaft, exhaust out & then tank drop, 15mins I'd like to see that!

I have no idea on VU Ute's so was just going on what Rod said "From what I have read it is accessed via a panel in the tray. I will need to remove the hard liner in the tray to access it though." Therefore I was talking about removing the tub liner.
