Hi Aussie Arvos , thanks for the great content on your channel , its always good to watch . I too own a 1995 GQ TD42 leaf ute . I’m the 3rd owner its now got about 220000 kms on it . I too replaced plenty of parts on mine ( bearings, seals, hub kits, brakes, etc ) now it is just turn key , fuel/oil/filters . They are a great vehicle , go anywhere. The only mods to mine are 2’’ lift with constant 100kg springs front and rear , GU tray and 265/75R16 GU ute rims and tyres safari snorkel, it came with safari turbo fitted in 1997 and still going ( came with paper work and books ) What would be interesting is to see how many GQ leaf utes are still on the road today , keep up the good work and look forward to more content in the future

Running cold is almost always down to the thermostat sticking open which keeps coolant circulating through the block even when the engine doesn't need it. It's a problem because the manufacturer will have designed that engine to run at a specific, narrow range of temperatures. As metal heats it expands. At the right temperature the gaps (tolerances) between moving parts will be within the "not too tight, not too loose" range. Running an engine constantly too cold forces those moving parts to operate when they are effectively "slopping about", leading to rapid wear. It's the reason most engine wear occurs during the warming up period and also the reason you shouldn't work a cold engine hard. The opposite of this is when an engine runs way too hot. Engines seize when too hot as parts expand so much that they can no longer move, eg. pistons within cylinder bores, etc. A real giveaway that you have a stuck-open thermostat is that when coasting (going down hill is a good opportunity to check) whatever little temperature is showing on the gauge will drop rapidly during the coast.

My advice would be to treat the minor rust and clear coat(Matt finish) the body.Like they do with some classic cars/pick ups.I believe that you can hand apply a product that gives you that effect and protect the GQ’s natural patina.Having cut my 4x4 teeth in a 77 FJ40 30 years ago, I would suggest that you continue to repair the items that fail and invest in a suspension upgrade if anything.Reliability in a 4x4 is King.Save your money so that you can one day upgrade to a GU etc in the future.Most of all enjoy your truck,coz when you get to my vintage you’ll look back very fondly on your experiences in the “ol girl”.Enjoy.Cheers, Rob.
