Not so fast Marv! It just so happens I've got a Raytheon radar unit I took off a 75' trawler that Harley and I want to install on the roof of the shop! Should give the locals fit's with their radar detectors since we're overlooking about 200 sq miles.........lol

Send an email to Jim at Rosewood Diesel. He really hooked me up on my Stage I injectors and he does stock rebuilds too.
And he has great turn-around time, got mine back to me within 5 days. Tell him I sent you...

My 2.8 has outlasted a shipload of 2.9s in it's stock form. I have to differ with ya' there, now that its nowhere near stock, 2.9s,3.0s and OHV 4.0s are seeing only my tail lights.

Quiet today, huh?

I've gotta install my brake hoses and bleed the system tomorrow morning, then head over to the coast to meet up with my dad on his cow elk hunt. Hopefully he'll get one down before I get there...

I knew you would. Maybe I just had a real bad 2.8 or real good 2.9 or you have one really awesome 2.8. The only problem with the 2.9 I know of is thin heads that tend to crack. But based on my experience with both, 2.9 is the winner.

Good morning guys.

Dave, how about putting a SHO 3.0 or SHO 3.2 into a Ranger. You can hook them to a rear wheel drive Ranger or Aerostar trans.
