3 wires on a boost gauge are normally for back lighting

Mine only has 2 wires, a positive and negative for the LED back light, We wired them up to the Cigarette charger at the meet last week, (the LED has failed tho so i'm replacing that on Thursday. The light on the Cigarette charger only comes on if the lights are switched on

Fitted an oil catch can,fully re greased,and re touched up the chassis wax oil after steam cleaning the truck after the other weekends meet. Fully checked over the truck and no damage,result.
The steering took some massive stress going into the sink hole,the tracking is still spot on which surprises me.

fellas... so my K34 is an open diff.... looking to get around that problem, what would u guys reccomend?
i may consider swapping the diff from a K74 since its lsd, also heard that the L300 pannel van comes with a lsd diff as well.

@K34@22PSI . be careful with K74's , some are Rear Locks Diffs rather than LSD

Also make sure the ratio is the same as the front diff or 4wd won't work properly i think

I got an LSD in mine and every time I go sideways round a roundabout (which is every time it's wet) I don't pull any chicks. I just get a really loud and annoying "TUT" from the passenger seat.

Pumped the tyres up and did the usual oil water and what's fallen off checks, found the reason for the banging / knocking from the rear of the truck ( sheepish confession) I forgot there was a small trolley jack in the rear tub that is now rolling around hitting the sides , cheapest fix ever on that one

I've got a locker in mine that is wired seperate from 4wd system , comes in handy if I can't be bothered to get out and lock the front hubs
