So...
I have this hj60 that I'm looking to take to Mexico from Vancouver...specifically down to Baja. Wondering what folks think about the engine going the distance....4800km in 48 hours? The compression has tested very well, and I run straight veggie oil a lot of the time, though most of this trip will be done on diesel. Recent work includes:
New 4 core rad, hoses, belts, water pump, thermostat.
All of the under bits on this truck are in tip top shape.
My big question is: Is this too much to put a 30 year old truck through?
Planning on installing an external transmission cooler, doing a tranny flush, general inspection, in addition to the usual oil change.
Thoughts? Anything else I should get done?
Thanks,
Kevin
