Pull some carpets up and check the floors, pull the plugs hiding the body mount bolts as well, take a look behind the interior panels at the rear wheels and quarters.
That truck has been for sale since last summer if i remember correctly, original asking price was over 10g, it has come down...
A side question, if one has an aftermarket turbo on a 3B, and wanted to do this, would you route it in at the air filter housing? Also where does the 13BT have the factory vapor hose attached ?
Highjack over,
Thanks
Although not the same vehicle, the 86 3B owners manual says replace every 24,000 kms or 18 months whichever comes first, diff tranny and transfer.
I always check after playing in the water and replace as required.
I'm assuming that $26,600 is in American Dollars, which seems decent. Just to help me put it in perspective, do you know what an average person's income would be for the year in the UAE ?

Wife took the kids and a friend up from Florida to this exhibit a few weeks ago, a little fact they learned, it was during...

gerg - I try do about the same, although...
Stephen - Too bad I couldn't make it out with you guys, hopefully next month.
I agree the stock temp guage is ****, but I doubt overheating alone could crack precups. If you really overheated and dumped cold water in the engine maybe that could do something. I really think cracked pre cups...
Slowly over the next few weeks I poked away at it evenings in that heat wave we were having and this past Friday I fired her up. All went well a few oil leaks where I forgot to tighten a turbo line. Runs like a top, installed a manual temp gauge, runs about 192F oil pressure is good.
Well it's been about 7 weeks, the head came back from the machine shop about two weeks ago. When I had it magnafluxed they found a crack between two valves.
So I sent it off to Montreal where they repaired it.
Had a guy from our club come in and adjust the valves, flywheel machined, new...
