[SHUSH]

YOUR WIFE worries about stuff 10 years in advance. She will get used to the 60 and love it.

I agree

 

[Bodean]

Ashley Sapaugh has a red 86 for sale. Used to be Clutchee's before the divorce
Can't vouch for it now. Used to be a great rig.

 

[wngrog]

I just asked her for info I'll post it

Shush sounds like put up or shut up time. You and a 60 will be oil and water.

Not sure what you mean? This is the ONLY truck I can buy or.....?

Harsh

Right? Tire sales must be rough or his wife cut him off.

 

[Bomar]

No on either...but thanks for checking on me.

You want a truck that is as far from your requirements that you have always had.....just saying.

 

[SHUSH]

Awesome.... I can sleep now


I buy and sell vehicles all the time as my requirements change.....

Or its just fun to test drive..... For 8 months and sell....

 

[Bodean]

It's an Ole Miss thing Bomar...

Anyone see a passenger side sun visor for a 60 like this let me know

 

[wngrog]

Found a visor.

Pulled the air filter.

The inside of my filter area was dirty as hell as would be expected of 100 miles of dust.

What was new was the large amount of motor oil in the breather. It's coming up out of the valve cover.

Is there any kind of filter or drip can I can rig between the valve cover and the breather?

BTW used one quart yesterday. 225 miles.

 

[Nottajeep]

I don't recall anyway oil could travel to the air cleaner from the valve cover except the hose by #6

 

[wngrog]

There is a direct 90* hose on mine from top of the valve cover by the firewall right into the housing. Vacuum of some sort. Big hose. Like 1/2"

She clean tho

 

[Nottajeep]

Must be blow back pushing oil up there. That hose acts as dryer vent of some sort to allow clean air into the VC.

I think your days are numbered. Rebuild it once and love it longer than you will keep it

 

[ToyoToler]

You could install an oil catch can of some sort in that line.

 

[Bomar]

A lot of people make a PCV catch can for the blow back. Well documented in 60 section. I am sure Rob can direct a simple way to do it.

 

[Bossman]

Your low compression on #6 is beginning to haunt you. The compression is escaping into the crankcase building excessive pressure and overwhelming your PCV system. Sorry buddy

 

[TroutBear]

OM 617 5 cylinder turbo diesel time - possibly the most reliable engine ever produced Think 4x4 Labs did some parts for a conversion kit. The guys at www.torfab.com in WA were i got a big box of 80 parts told me they do diesel conversions; perhaps being closer to Canada they have an underground RR line of parts...

 

[wngrog]

I am going to drive this thing until it won't run or it tosses a rod. I am thinking (correct me if i am wrong) that if I keep oil in it and drive it, I will not get stranded somewhere without knowing it is coming.

I have all new "accessories" on this motor so I am going back with a 2F when this one dies. No diesel (I hate diesels) and no V8's unless I have to.

Drive. Add oil. Drive.

@dnp says it sounds like its on 5 cyl to him already........

 

[Bossman]

DNP is basically right. Should not leave you stranded
