Good afternoon esteemed gentlemen.
Its very unlike me to ask the internet to solve my problems, and I haven't been on a forum since you had to wait for porn to load on a dial up modem.
But here we are.
Meet Charlotte. Shes an 88, 5speed, 4wd, 22re. I'm mildly in love
She's charming but rough, like a funny vegas hooker. I've attached some pics to show that the previous owner (who didn't seem like a muppet) has done some work, but she's old, and could use some more TLC.
She seems to runs grea, just 30 years behind the times. she's wet on the bottom, but doesn't seem to leak fast. She has ~215K in freedom lengths. I've had her about a year, and drove her up the pass all winter.
Recently she started making UFO noises after I put her back in 2WD for the spring, and I'm convinced its T-case ATM.
Since I am new to this whole line of truck.....
What should I do with this oh wise internet gods? Give me your best bad advice.
Should I get a t-case and keep it stock? Just replace s*** as it breaks?
Am I about to fight a whole mess of un-forseen issues?
Can parts be had for this, or have we broken them all already?
Knows issues with this vintage of truck I should watch out for?
Should I go nuts? What's popular with these if I still wanted to daily it but also live in Oregon? Common suspension upgrades?
Sorry for being a dumbass, but a leopard never changes its spots
Thanks for the replies in advance!
