looks great, my truck is needing a refresh on the paint. i was going to keep the colors oem, but now i'm leaning toward a light tan on top with a dark burnt orange lower paint scheme. i need to replace one door skin and remove the tie downs along the outside of the bed. i'm tired of snagging shirts on them... i'm planning on installing a sliding tie down system on the inside of the rail.

 

Where's a pic of that beast of an engine?

Nice!!!

I really want a diesel... but lately I have been getting 22 mpg with the ol' gasser 2.9.

Then again my transmission whines more than the wife, so who knows... maybe a swap is in the cards.

Josh

 

Thanks....and thanks again for the tip on the valve cover mod.

Thanks, any ideas on what oil burner you'd swap in?

 

Either an Isuzu 4BD or Cummins 4BT... Just a pain that the easiest way to get the motor is to buy the whole delivery truck.

consider a south of the border, range rover or ranger. using the brazil built, power stroke 2.5 / 2.8 turbo. very reliable and parts shouldn't be to hard to get. b sure to order the complete engine, clutch, transmission when you contact the importer/salvage yard.
my other choice would be the cummins 2.8

As much as I am a Ford guy, I have always really liked Nissans. I had 1997 Nissan Pathfinder, 2003 Supercharged Frontier and currently have a 2004 Maxima.

If the Titan came with that new 4 cylinder Cummins all hell will break loose! That is sweet!

I am pretty partial to the Isuzu 4BD as the previous company I worked for had 12 Sakai compactors that had that engine and the company I currently work for has 6 in panel delivery style trucks. So I am fairly familar with them. Can't kill them and they start-up no matter what.

The Cummins is plentiful, but moreso as a complete vehicle rather than as a single engine.

 

[Hello josh I have an rare 83 ford ranger with a 2.2L diesel engine it only has 42516 miles on the engine .the truck is in great condition text 7316102171 for more info

 

Hello Montana: I do have a 2.2 liter Perkins diesel which came out of a 1984 Ranger pickup. I still have the transmission attached but I have removed the alternator, the fan and radiator. This however will probably not do you any good because I live in British Columbia (Canada).

 

I've got one it only had 42452 miles on it they are verry dependable becouse mine sat 15 years an all had to do was put new battery in it that's it an turned key it started great gass milage but is underpowered thell run forever if you keep em oiled good and keep em clean

 

I don't have one but I recently found one for sale. Been trying to see what it's worth. The body us shot, frame is ok, engine and transmission have 60,000 miles. The owner said make him an offer. I don't want to low-ball him and make mad. But I don't want to over pay either.
