He just neglected it. Ran it hot before and cracked a head. Then this time he broke a piston rod. He just doesn't have the desire to take care of a vehicle. He just needs a little four banger. I talked him into the plenum pan and stuff. Either way, it works out good for me. He doesn't want it. I can use the parts in it. ESPECIALLY the dash lol mines barely hanging on.

I hate it when people neglect their stuff then complain when it breaks on them. Hate it hate it.

Installed my Bulldog RS1200 remote starter/key-less entry, $62 at Sams Club. Perfect for me because I didn't want an alarm.

Other than pricking my finger and drawing blood with the computer friendly test probe all went well, took me about 3 hours. If I were to do it again I would wait until it was a little warmer (wires were stiff and electrical tape looses it stickiness) and purchase better electrical connectors.

All in all I would recommend it, straight forward installation and for the most part instructions/video were pretty good.

Now eating some Xmas Eve left overs.... Great Day!!

Got stuck in the mud pulling up logs for firewood, shoulda known better than to do it in the rain....

Had to call for a tow

Took a few pictures, apparently all but 1 got deleted from my phone, huh.

That pile of leaves right next to the driver rear tire is actually a hole, coulda got bad...



Rear was starting to slide towards a downhill section that was a old goat/horse pasture, so I had to give up and call a tow, $50. At least I was rescued by a Cummins

Went and did some running, got brake fluid. Put that in there, pumped the brakes a bit. Quite a difference. Still wanna know where it went though.
Put gas in it, got a whopping 6.8 MPG! Corrected to 7.05 but it still sucks.
