few issues with it... cruise control doesnt work, still has the red plug on the master cylinder with wires cut. can only get 12 gallons in the front tank from running out of gas empty, fuel gauge gets erratic at 1/4 - 2/3 full, im assuming its the pickups in the tank causing that. pretty sure the steering box is leaking havent narrowed it down yet. other than that its perfect, a/c blows ice cold, runs perfect, 174,000 miles, turbo hits 10 psi no problem, pulls my boat like its not there. oh and the manual transmission is badass, lovin the first couple weeks with this thing.

thanks for all the assistance from the site, alot of good info found here

The only getting 12 gallons of fuel in the tank is a Broken pickup tube. Very common
