Aww thats sad, ive been waiting for a new update on it. How did the new engine help? Did it ever get put in and Dynoed?
The new engine helped although there was water in the oil. The engine took a hit on the front maybe a little leak? Hopefully not cavitation? Anyways I added those cubes and copper and its been ok for 1,000 miles. The chrome mechanical fuel pump cover leaks oil. Couple things missing like Intellistic and not sure...
Main pieces there two turbo kits, tires have a few cracks but lots of rubber left. Transmission, brakes, rear axle... no rust body, new fluids everywhere, two Optima batteries from a semi, speedometer magically started working, it requires no keys, paid registration, ...
It runs great we drove three in the regular cab but its illegal to do that in CA. It runs like a top right now.... Drove it around Ash Meadows area in the dirt and around Beauty north of Las Vegas. It goes down washed out roads and little hills great. Good ground clearance and torque with five speed and factory turbo. Would be nice to put a camper on too.
The big bed is great for loading stuff. Small cab is nice sometimes. Vent windows.... OBS remorse?
