Hi mate! long time.

If your getting a 2nd gen, you'll know all the bits that should work and what is temperimetal, it'll be the same as yours, apart from the motor.

See the oil pressure thread, and give the motor a good work out, try and get them to start it from cold, and leave it running as long as poss while sniffing around the truck.

You should notice a huge difference in performace to your 2.4
