This rig is still for sale, but will be gone for sure by March 23. I have a full price offer that closes that day, but anyone who can match that can take it today. This is a super nice rig at a very fair price. You simply cannot build one like this for this price. Hurry up so I can get my 80...
Happy to report that all transfer case leaks are fixed and it is once again a leak free beast. I had to tear apart the transfer case twice because I neglected to hook up 5th gear the first time. ;)
Still for sale, but I'm not getting involved with VIN trades. There must be some CA folks on the site who have imported diesels, so you should probably check with them.
There are no dents other than the typical small parking lot garbage (the pics don't lie). The t-case has a slow leak, but I am fixing that this week (dropping the t-case and replacing all seals/cleaning breather). There are no other leaks that I've noticed.
If I were going to keep this...
As far as emissions go, if you have to do an emissions test just fill the tank with about 50% or higher biodiesel and you'll pass with flying colors. Another option is to add a high flow diesel catalytic converter--better emissions with no appreciable loss in performance (about $150.00)...
Hey folks:
Thanks for all the interest. I've had one local person drive it and like it but he's gotta find the cash. Sounds like the rest of us, eh?
This rig is still for sale. I've had a lot of bites from mudders but no firm commitments. 10K is a lot of money for a 20 year old rig...
I'll be showing this rig for sale locally this starting this weekend, so if any mudders are interested (other than those who have already pm'd me) let me know.
Dave: for the time being I'd prefer to sell it locally. As time goes by I might consider a trade for the right 80. Yours looks nice--what kind of shape is it in?
blupaddler: I'd prefer a really clean, stock 80.
Just to clarify, this rig is definitely for sale. I did get an offer for $7500, which is unreasonable for this truck. Interested individuals should feel free to PM me.
I'm in Bend. And like I said, I'm flexible on my price but this rig is much cleaner than average, is a rare breed with the TD, and would cost much more if you tried to have someone else do the swap for you. A little fresh paint and OME and this rig would be top shelf.
