    SOLD San Diego: 96 FZJ80 with NEW Engine, Supercharged!

    @bugsnbikes Yes, new short block. @1973Guppie Actually, no, we never had an appointment. I informed you (and the other interested buyers) the truck was at my mechanic's and that I would update you as soon as I picked it up, after which I would schedule something with you. You never sent me your...

    SOLD San Diego: 96 FZJ80 with NEW Engine, Supercharged!

    Noah, I'm sorry to hear that. You worked yourself up over nothing. I'm a pilot, and a busy one at that. I called you as you requested and got your voicemail multiple times. You said you had questions but never emailed them to me as I asked on multiple occasions. Because I'm often flying, phone...

    Just got back from Mexico last night. Truck is still for sale. I'm getting quite a few emails about it, I hope to find it a good home.

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    Update 09 July 2020: I waited to update you guys until everything was complete, I hope you can all understand. Today I received a wire transfer from Mann+Hummel's insurance company covering the cost of a reman'd engine, installation by my local shop, and flatbed towing from Colorado to...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    UPDATE 07 APRIL 2020: Hey guys, I wanted to thank you for all of your help. The truck has been sitting at my mechanic's shop in San Diego since just before Christmas. For what it's worth, I trust these guys. The shop here verified that it didn't have oil pressure and I came up with a game plan...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    I mentioned it, but it was probably buried a bit. Shop in Denver is telling me they want $143 before they'll give the keys to the shipping truck. They sent me an invoice for $130 in labor and $13 in shop supplies. I'm not happy about it. I told them what was wrong with it when I gave it to...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    Thanks for all the support guys. I just confirmed my Uship from Denver to San Diego. Cost around $1000. They should be picking it up this week. To be honest, the woman at Toy Doctor was really condescending and bitchy. I'll say it. When she found out I didn't want to drop $12k on an engine...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    Yeah, I'm leaning toward that option more and more. Talked to the shop that did the work on it in October, they were very helpful and willing to help try to sort out what might be wrong with it. They ARE willing to swap a used or reman'd engine into it, unlike the people in Denver. They're also...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    Yes, I could totally do it myself. But I live in San Diego and I'm currently working away from home through early next year. I was in Denver, now I have to go to Salt Lake. The truck is stuck in Denver. I just don't have the time/resources to fix it myself right now. I'm willing to pay a shop to...

    96 Oil Pump Failure?

    Wow. Toy Doctor in Denver wants $11,000-12,000 to rebuild the motor. They will not consider swapping in a used motor. They wouldn't consider any alternatives and said this was my only option. Can anyone recommend a shop in Denver that will swap a used motor in? I'm really in a bind here. I...
