Do they have complete service records?? As stated, they are not intercooled, but they are a good engine if the mtc schedule is followed. I have a 99 Suburban with the 6. 5 and I think its a good engine. If complete mtc records are available and the price is right, I wouldn't be afraid to buy it.

I think you could lower it several inches by going with shorter springs in the front and removing some leaves from the rear springs. I have a 1994 land cruiser and there was a article in 4wd magazine that showed them being used in Iceland and they had 44" tires. They were able to do that by...

That's a great deal, the best I could find for my 2007 was $36000, it listed for $42,000.

setting it up to run on diesel only involves bypassing the fuel density compensator (FDC) which is a simple procedure but you defnitely need to install a EGT guage since the engine will be getting more fuel. If you're just needing something to haul firewood buy a 3/4 ton trailer (the ones that...

go to Steel Soldiers :: Military Vehicles Supersite, it is an excellant source of info on military vehicles. If you're looking for something to drive around the farm they're a good choice. be aware that the bed is very high and can be a problem when unloading and loading. I used to have one for...

Are you going to keep the IFS or do a solid front axle conversion?? I have a 99 'Burb that I want to do a Cummins conversion and I'm wondering if the IFS will hold up under the weight of a cummins (and possibly a custom front bumper/winch) or if I need to put a dana 60 under it.

There was a article in current issue of diesel power magazine about a 4bt in a early model Bronco that is putting out 400hp. I think we're going to start seeing alot more 4bt swaps.

Gene brought up some excellant points, another thing to consider if you keep the house and land as is, it will appeal to people who want to buy and re-model to their tastes as well as people who like it as is. If you re-model you are greatly reducing the number of prospective buyers the place...

when I flew helicopters in the army, we had a 2 minute shut-down on the turbine engines. I now work for fedex and when I jump-seated on co a/c I noticed that fedex has the same practice. My wife has a 1991 toyota mr2 turbo that had to be replaced because she did not follow toyota's...

the smell of army camo fatigues and army tents, diesel,JP-4, and puppy breath.

I'm sure this has been discussed but I can't find the thread. What are the parts needed other than a 4500 transmission, and clutch pedal. thx :confused:

I have 2 a Homelite 330 w/ a 20 inch bar and a Homelite super 2 w/ a 16 inch bar, both are 25 years old. They have been great, both used alot in 7 of those 25 years. The important thing about chain saws is to buy the right size, don't buy a limbing and trimming saw and expect it to hold up if...

EXCELLANT POST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!Oo. Oo. Oo.

I had a 1983 dodge w-350 crewcab and a 1994 toyota land cruiser (fj-80) and I sold both of them and bought a 2007 dodge 2500 4wd CC with a cummins and 6sp. the land cruiser had 212hp and 275 ft/lbs of torque, and weighed 5000 lbs. and was lucky to get 10mpg. Interesting enough, the 83 dodge got...
