NuLine has listings for pulleys for WG engines 4.7 and 2.7, they have also been bought buy Dayco so part availability should improve.

Day 1 of retirement and toss up, fit new tranny cooler or head into the hills for a bit of a dirt run. No contest heading for the hills.

What oil and where from?
I've been using Penrite "ATF FS Full Syn", meets spec for ATF+4 (although I don't think they're certified it with API... aka they haven't paid for the "certification".). Think I pay ~$50/4L trade price from Repco.

Yeh, genuine oil. Didn't want to risk non genuine. $180 is a lot for oil but much cheaper than risk killing the tranny

Fair call.
After what I've learnt with oil for the QDII diffs and transfer case, I'm confident enough that Mopar don't have anything magic happening with their oils... so I've decided to take the risk (and shorten the service interval since it's cheaper.), after obsessively checking the datasheets.

The ATF+4 spec is published, and as far as I can tell the Penrite stuff is "better" on paper.
The transfer case oil has never had a spec published, which is annoying, but the case for it just being relabelled Mobil 424 is pretty strong.

Totally understand you're thinking though. Time will tell

Changed the O2 Sensors & MAP Sensor.
Ripped the exhaust off from the Cat back & went for a drive, straight out the pipes. Wow the power is back!!!
New Cat & Muffler coming.

Fitted new custom-made P/Steer hose to fix the leaky joint. Also fitted new Ironman 40mm lift front springs and adjustable trackbar to sort the sag and ready now for my new Runva 'Rock crawler' winch and custom 'made by me' front winch bar. Going camping next month with some Landy disco's and they'll probably need my help if we go for a drive.
