Hey all Just picked up a rebult 82 BJ42 Cad spec truck All the hard stuff (engine, trans and t/Case as well as axles and driveline, body work) has been done Bought it off a pretty well know cruiser rebuilder. His dad actually rebuilt the engine and it was his last before retirement hed built them for many years. They swapped in a push button 4wd system The stick has 2h and 4lo on it and a lit (green) pushbutton on the dash. Manual hubs. Apparently the drivetrain came from an 85 cruiser Im thinking its a 60 series? Im still working it all out but it will definitely need to go to a good auto sparky (if anyone knows anyone good on Vancouver Island feel free to let me know!) Wondering if anyone has any suggestions on a good oil to run Vancouver is a funny place because we are temperate but, can have really cold days and really hot days. I always start with good oil and go from there Engine has done maybe 3-4000 kms so far. i bought it restored but not if that makes sense It was the body mans last truck and he wanted a quick sale and i was ready for one so...it happened I paid him good money because it was the last motor him and his old man rebuilt together and his old man (apparently) is a legend with 3Bs. Sentimental value has its place i suppose.
