Howbout the fact that I picked up a running driving 4x4 Cummins for $1500 which is not much more than you paid for your parts truck? Can you believe that, *******?

 

I was just jokin man.... Geez

 

Huh. Well I can't talk cuz I started it. I wanted to make all my forum names uniform so I changed it a long time ago. plus it's my actual nickname. Alright time to sign off and not come back for another 3+ months. Unless I get another nv4500/v8 2nd gen which I am kinda trying to do.

 

Replaced the idler pulley and put on a new belt. Turns out a 93-95 grand Cherokee 5.2 belt is perfect for if you remove ac. 7 rib like stock. Just takes some muscle to get it on, it's a tight fit.

 

New PCV valve. exciting i know...

 

I was too. I am a sarcastic guy. Sorry it's hard to convey that in typing I thought we were good since we talk from time to time.


You were bustin my ***** bout the auto thing, I was just bustin yours back haha

 

Went on a first gen hunt today (have yet to find a 12v that it hadn't been played with). Black smoke, how stupid...........K.

Edit: That's what I'm still looking for Ham Bone (Barn Find). I can live with some rust and Cow S***, if the motors good (I assume tranny work would be necessary, and 4wd is a must). On a higher note, after discussions on here with aoferrell2, I just hand calced 14.2 mpg on the last tank of fuel on the 97. I just filled with 87 octane on the 97. This means I can choose the gasser or diesel on long no load trips (diesel is 16.3 mpg).

 

We're good man haha it's just like you said though. Sarcasm is lost on plain text.

 

You're gonna have yo find an old 12 valve that hasn't left the farm in the last 20 years to get an unmodified one.


And good luck getting the guy to get rid of it. He will probably be buried with the truck. I know I would feel the same way. Haha

 

Finally got my cherrybomb glasspack onto my 98 ram 1500 318. Damn. Exactly what i was looking for! Not too loud, but just a nice nice rumble with no highs.
