It's a POS ... Any $5 Thermostat will do! Now all you need is some Autolite or Bosch Glow Plugs and you'll be all set!

400 HP on a sewing machine, my gawd where do you put the thread spool!

Yes, I am totally joking ...

I can't get jr4jc to sell it to me telling him it's a nice truck ... So It's a POS!

Obviously I like the truck!
Though we prefer the 80-86 body style, I wouldn't have passed up that truck!

-Enjoy

can't have my sti either, that is one of the reasons i wanted a large diesel truck, to pull my car to races and possibly a second car. i may get a 2 car car-hauler trailer.

i'm just outside of nashville, and i LOVE lighting up all 4 tires when i race off road, but lighting them up on pavement means something might break and it might be something expensive. SO i keep my FUN driving on DIRT!!!!

what is a t-66 and a t-4
i put a forced performance HTA68 turbo on it and larger injectors and fuel pump and tuned it for 93 and e-85 and on e85 it's makin about 425hp and a little better than that on TQ, for the racin i do that is MORE than enough power, cause the trick is putting the power to the GROUND!!!!

If you run that thing across a set of scales, I think you are going to find the empty weight closer to 7,000 pounds than 5,000.
