Awesome!! Can't wait to see it tooling around the local trails!

Thank heavens No! My old Buell Ulysses XB12X. Lots of memories on that one. Worst part was new tires, new tune, fixed the oil leak...etc, it was ready for another 2-3 years of fun.

Anyone still have an old Qtrac laying around? Mostly interested in the low range planetary box. PM me if you have anything. Thanks! :cool:

That sucks man. Will keep and eye peeled for it. Happening alot around here lately. My motorcycle has been missing for about 2 months now...

If you want a truly tuned diesel Keith is the guy to talk to: http://greendieselengineering.com/goPage.do?method=perfCompVW He looks at the whole package and not just advancing the timing and jacking the fuel. Been very happy with his products and service.

My wife drives a Jetta TDI we bought new in Feb 2003. Car has 165K and has paid for itself in saved fuel over and over again. Still runs like the day we bought it. I have all the tools to do the timing belts, so I have been tackling them and they are not too bad of a job. Brakes/rotors at 120K...

Thank you KSL! Well some projects seem to take forever and others just seem to sweep you along with them. This one is moving much faster than I had anticipated! :eek2: Things seem to keep falling into place. Picked up a transmission and transfer case that came out of an '89 Trooper today. It...

OK. We are all in now... :cool: Picked up a wrecked 1996 Firebird with a 3800 and a 5 speed today. Its a convertible and has 135K miles on it. Paid $300 for it not knowing for sure if it was a runner, but the owner seemed like an honest man so we loaded it up. (Loading cars sucks... :-\)...

True. Have not found an f-body yet. Only one in PNS and it has the 2.8L motor. My wife's Willys has a PCI 4.3L and its fuel consumption is pretty high. It really isn't that powerful either, but that might be the 36x15.50 swampers...

That would be awesome. I wandered through PNS the other day. There are 3 supercharged 3800 rivieras in there. 2 are still complete. Any hunches what kind of failure sends these to the grave?? We used to pull good 5.0L HO motors from Lincoln Mark V back in the day that ran perfect- they were...

Awesome reply! Just the kind of thing I am looking for. What inherent advantage does the 3800 have over a 4.3L? (I have driven both, but the 3800 was in a car and the 4.3L was in a truck so its not really apples to apples.)

I have a brand new in the box GM 3.8 supercharger, but I bought it for a diesel project. The layout is all wrong for a rwd motor. Puts the intake into the firewall. A 3.8l that is more efficient would be cool. Want the Trans and t-case options to be liveable too.

Anybody here fluent in these newer (to me) offerings? Looking at the specs these little motors put out an incredible amount of power compared to motors that I do know. (Yes, I am aging myself a bit. Also I have not been mechanic-ing for a long time.) How would one of these motors (say in a...

SOLD If anybody is looking for some swampers to kill for cheap: I listed them for $170 obo on KSL, but make me an offer... They come with the wheels pictured and a spare not pictured. Fits 6 lug GM,Toyota, Isuzu, etc... They are old and weather checked, but still hold air... not recommended...

Love it! Should be a great all around truck! Very surprised at how light it ended up. Awesome. :)

WTF?

Go 6BD1 Greg! I even know where you can score one...

Sounds like somebody in your company gets free trips to Hawaii or something in exchange for allowing the gouging. This type of stuff seems to go on everywhere. It truly boggles the mind how much out guys pay for stuff sometimes, then they turn around and ask us to cut somewhere.

Sorry we didn't manage to see you Marc. We had another trail rescue mission that kept us out until after midnight. Truck seems ok. I plan to stop frequently to check the diff level. Should get us home.

After an epic battle we managed to get the pinion that had fused to the inner section of the bearing off. Not an easy task at home...seemed impossible at times out in the desert. Couldn't have done it without my wife/pit crew combo: Just took it for a test drive. Stayed under 45 and went...
