Just bought a rig with a 82 HJ47 with a 2H in it. I have been reading a ton in this section and have learned a lot, but I still have some general questions for the group.
The engine has 115,000 Km (72,000 miles) on it.
I have a big family. 2 adults 2 kids, and 2 large breed dogs. So we wanted something unique, big, and good gas mileage. We want a family runner / expedition vehicle. That being said here is my upgrade sheet in chronological order.
Biodiesel
Pyrometer
AXT Turbo with intercooler.
Boost guage
H55 5 speed
3" lift
34" tires
Questions I have.
Will i need to upgrade the fuel line to a synthetic hose? Or is it fill it up with bio and see what happens?
With the stock gear axles, should I upgrade to 4.56s to keep the powerband for the diesel?
Is there anything I used do as for preventive maintainence? I have the 2H manual downloaded.
Thanks for your input
