Repco will have a listing for it. I know someone else who has purchased one from there.

Hi everyone, I have a 2013 FG mk2 xr6 Turbo ute with the luxury pack. I've used the satnav maybe a handful of times. When I touched the nav icon tonight I just got a black screen instead of the warning screen you get on start up. Has anyone come across this? Is there a way to reset the satnav? everything else is fine.

It's interesting to see how manyeople are having tramp issues, I've only had my new ute a week and with 200kg of tools in the back I'm yet to have any tramp, when I had my Auto it was ridiculous. My cars only just clicked 10,000 so I'm hopeful that a Mal Wood kit with the stock shocks will suffice at least until I get a tune. Can anyone recommend a good suspension shop do deal with this. I've approached most well known suspension shops in Sydney and came back with more questions than answers. Now I've recently moved to the ACT I've got no idea about any one down here.

Hi guys. Since writing the post I've now bought an FG MKII Turbo ute, a manual this time as the Auto gave me the sh*ts with all the headaches I had. I'm thinking of going the Mal Wood Traction bar kit, but RO88IE where did you get the Calvert ones from?

So after a less than impressive 12 months with my original ute. I've got an ex Ford exec FG MK 2 turbo ute on the way, this time a manual with a luxury pack. To avoid the driveline hassles I had before I'm thinking of fitting the Mal Wod traction bar kit and possibly some reset leaves to cope with my tools. Has anyone used these kits before? Is the tailshaft setup the same as the Autos?

Where are you located? Sydney Driveline Seevice seem to know what they're doing, I had my shaft done by another Sydney shop, the guys a knob and the cv's had to be replaced.

I've got an Eaton true Trac in my FG XR6T ute. It's awesome, I highly recommend it.

So I've got stock leaves with Airbags to combat sag and save my tailshaft, due to the supposedly heavy load I have in my car. I'm still getting axle wrap on hard acceleration so I'm thinking of going with a stiffer rear spring and Nolathane bushes with the addition of Caltracs or some sort of traction bars. I'll also re bush the front end. Has anyone used Caltracs?

So I've not been on here for a while, mostly due to work commitments, but I've had a few issues with my ute sorted and encountered a few more. Here's the run down: Tailshaft replaced due to Centre CV failure. Diff rebuilt and true Trac added, dud Rear CV replaced under warranty. Auto serviced then promptly shat itself, e clutch issue. ford replaced with another transmission, the argument over payment continues. I've installed rear airbags to stop the sag with the constant load but it sounds like my rear cv is going again. I'm considering changing the rear end setup again but I need to do a bit more research. Been a fair few dramas but hopefully I'll sort it out. The wheel spacer look fat though !!!

All sorted, faulty purge solenoid and $100 to fix it at Peter Warren.

Mate stay away from KCDR. I had a shaft done by them in January and have had nothing but 7 months of knocks and vibrations and constant frustration dealing with them. It's only getting fixed properly now after I told Glen if he doesn't I'm going to fair trading. He's a good bloke but is too unreliable and doesn't want to deal with warranty. I spoke to Hardy Spicer initially and they didn't want to know about it.

My utes done 100,000 and the LSD has gone. I'm going for a true Trac as I don't want to be rebuilding diffs constantly. It's a bit pricey at around $1600,but its $1000 to rebuild the diff in it now so I figured I'd go aftermarket.

It seems there are quite a few variations of tailshafts fitted to FG's. My ute has (or had) the centre bearing and CV setup. When the the centre bearing let go it destroyed the centre CV too. The Centre Bearing was replaced but after driving it home the CV was stuffed as well. I had a new shaft made that has a removable uni and centre bearing that can be replaced. I wouldn't recommend using the place I went as my car has been back about four times for warranty related issues and is now only getting fixed after legal advice was sought. But if you can get someone to build you a shaft that has a removable uni and bearing its definitely the way to go.

Hi everyone, I spat a centre bearing and a front CV in my FG Turbo ute a week ago. As Ford only replace entire shafts at a cost of $1800 for the shaft plus labour I decided to ring around a few Tailshaft joints. Most of the well known places were useless, thieving bastards or both. I ended up getting mine sorted at KCDR Drivetrains in Arndell Park (nsw). I got a complete new shaft, new rear CV and Uni in the front, drive in drive out for $1100.Here's the good part. In the new year these boys will be doing shafts on an exchange basis so no need to dick around pulling the shaft out and refitting it. My car's never driven as good since I've owned it. Call Glen on (02) 9679 7747, He's a ford man and has a pretty stout Pursuit Ute so you know you're in good hands.
