[roylittle0]

Hopefully she will be up and running tomorrow then.!! Has all the pain and suffering been worth while, or is it just for the love of it

Hope all goes well for ya

I have enjoyed doing the work on it as i haven't done anything like this for 15 years and the first time with a desiel motor,so if the block is knackered then its been a learning curve for me if i need to do one again.
Plus i'll make the money back on parts if the engine is knackered

[JUDWAK]

its allways a way of fixing everything

[stormforce]

well i got the truck running and then the bottom end gave out.
It ratlled like a rattly thing and smoked like the Flying Scotsman and then rattle clonk bang and stopped.
I now have a 1994 3.0l up for spares.
I gave it a go and never worked so time to cut the loses and try to make some money back.

Bad luck mate . I still got to do either an engine swop or head only swop on my 2nd gens .

Bad luck there Richard, I know just how disheartening it is when something like that happens, but there is always plus points to everything, you have learnt a lot, made new friends and I’m sure you have had a good time and some laughs along the way. Hats off to you, better to try and fail than not try at all.

Its got 5 near new 31x10.50.15 greenway macho mt's on 15x7" steel white wheels.There is a little rust where the wheel nuts have been done up but can be cleaned up easy enough i should think

Dont really understand all this 30x10.5 stuff - what does that equate to in real money?

Will they fit mine and how much ?
