4WD Modifications

Angela Chapman - Monday, November 07, 2011

We are a nation of 4WD lovers. From the humble school run to crossing the Simpson Desert.

Modifications are big wow factor these days - lift kits, bigger wheels and tyres, diff lockers and performance chips.

Any one of these modifications is a great addition to your car, and together they make the car into an awesome outback weapon!

When doing these mods there is generally a major component that is forgotton - THE EXTRA LOAD. The pressure that the drive train and automatic transmission have to deal with is huge.

Heat is the biggest killer of an automatic transmission and with extra weight it soon builds up and can become a problem.

Our team at Ron Hills have a solution - an extra oil cooler fitted in the correct spot on your 4WD will prove great results in making your transmission last longer by lowering oil temperatures. This is just one of many modifications to give your 4WD transmission a long and healthy life. We can retro fit most 4WD's on the market.

I've fitted one to my own 4WD and there is a marked difference in towing temperature in the transmission.

Stay cooler for longer with a mod from Ron Hills - Nick

Testimonial

"Hello, I just wanted to thank you for such great service. My car, Audi A4, was serviced by your team. We were unsure of what could be wrong with the vehicle but it is running so much more smoothly and we are very happy. Reluctantly, we will now sell it to our son, but with it running so well, would prefer to keep it. You may recall me talking about this."

Regards,
Margaret Fowler
