Hi Will,

I have one doing the same! I'll give the rad a flush 1st, but as its been standing and the water is very rusty, I'm also looking at getting the rad re-cored. Did you / have you made any progress?

Mine is deff overheating, It's chucking the coolent out.

Regards

Chris

Any fellow Zil owners out there? 

I am getting an engine /  coolant over heat light when i use the truvk for more than around 20 mins. Then the engine cuts out. 

Theory 1 -  faulty sensor 

Theory 2 -  faulty water / coolant pump 
 

Anyone got any thoughts and if you agree -  do you know where I could source these parts please? 

Thanks, 
Will 

 

 

Thanks, I suspected something of the sort. I’m after a T5 direct for the MJ but will  leave this one to find another LD.

My understanding is the Turner T5 300 box is an upgrade and will fit my MJ, but just wondered if this turner box will. It's a direct 5th  which is what I'm after, but can anyone throw any light on the difference between the 300 & 350. Is it a later version of  the 300 or truck specific?

Thanks and regards

Chris

Thanks Iain,

It would appear we have a bit in common, although I note the "too many" bit in your footer! I leave opinions like that to others:)

Hi Group,

Apologies for this somewhat late intro,but I'm not Known for my speed at getting things done! anyway's, main interest is forces radio, and now extending to vehicles in a small way. I have a Zil 131 comm's wagon in the workshop at the moment (not my 1st choice, but it's complete) and I'm just fitting a electronic repair body on a MJ which strictly speaking should have been RL or MK, but there rather more scarce, and have a v8 40kva genset to get back up and running for the field day kettle requirements.

I like big radios especially the ones that need wheels to move them, and druel over 19" racks!

great site and fabulous info from very knowledgeable people's.

Thanks for letting me join.
