IceY60´s Patrols.

[IceY60]

Here are few pictures of my patrols.

First the family patrol. It´s just stock with 33" tires.

And the big one. It´s modified with 5.42 diff ratios, 38" tires 15x12" rims. I have 15x15,5 rims that I´m going to sandblast and paint It has a VHF radio Fini Flash air compressor and a 20l air tank. It has 2" boddy lift and 2" suspension lift. the future plan is to modify the truck for bigger tires. I´m thinking about 44" or 46" tires.

Very nice, looks weird seeing a left hand drive patrol :)

[IceY60]

hehe it´s weird to me seeing a right hand drive :)

[BigRAWesty]

Bloody awesome stuff. So what engines are you running over there? Any mods so they dont freeze?

[IceY60]

I´m running the RD28T engines in them both they work quiet good. The big one is originaly with TD42 but I bought it with a 2.8 My friend had the 4.2 in his patrol. But he got tired of it and sold it and has an TB6 5.9 cummins 12valve now. And it works as hell with that engine. My plan is to find an TB6 engine and put in the big one and modify it for 44 or 46" tires. There are no midifycations for the frost. Patrol is build for cold weather hehe :D
Here is one picture from last summer. We still had a little snow in the mountains atleast over 800m below 800m there was no snow. Only nice and warm weather :p

I love your set ups over here, awesome!

[IceY60]

Thanks mate.

[NP99]

Those pics look great......what a great place to be :)

[IceY60]

Thanks mate :)

[BigRAWesty]

Guessing front axil gets push forward to looking at that last pick? Or is all guard chops?

[IceY60]

Guessing front axil gets push forward to looking at that last pick? Or is all guard chops?

I´m not sure if I understand what you mean.

[BigRAWesty]

To fit the lager diameter wheels, have you cut the guards, or pushed the axle forward aswell to clear the wheel arch?

[IceY60]

Yeah the guards has been cut, but for 46" I´ll have to move the front axle at least 5cm forward. And the rear axle back about 10cm. You also gain better weight distribution by moving the axles from each other. Which is better in snow driving. It also gives the rig a better handling.

[UCAGQ2]

iceY60

where do you get them big flare's you all are running on the patrols over there?

tuff looking trucks!

[threedogs]

Looks awesome the country well is white lol
Great the way you guys set up your Patrols

[BigRAWesty]

iceY60

I think they custom make then with fiber glass.

[IceY60]

I think they custom make then with fiber glass.

Yep. They are custom made with fiber glass. There are a few companys here in Iceland that are making flares. And they wil for every type og car. These flares I´ve got are so called little 44" flares. Theyr work good with the 38" tires but the are not Wide enough for 44" tires. But that also depends on how wide the rim is. I´m using 12" wide rims now. But they aren´t enough So I have 15,5" wide rims that I´m going to sandblast and paint for the 38´s. My future plan is to modify rims for the 44" tires. But I can´t decide if I´m going to have them 18" or 20" wide.

[BigRAWesty]

Bloody crazy. The sizes you guys talk are insane. But totally normal for you guys.

[bamr33]

Nice ride! It would be great if we could get away with running 46" tyres here in Aus.

[Wine_maker]

As I can see, 3" lift in Island, it is not lift at all LOL yah?

[IceY60]

I want to lift the trucks as litle as I can. My 33" patrol is lifted 1" and the guards has not been cut. I´m going to keep the 4" lift on big patrol for the 44" convertion but I´ll just cut more out instead. And if I wil ever try the 46" I´ll try to lift as litle as I can I´ll rather move the rear axle more back and front axle more forward :)

[BigRAWesty]

I wad thinking about the moving front axle forward and it'll be a big job.
I've seen people fit 10mm spacers and the drag link and steering dampener hit the axle.
So you may need to move the steering box forward to. Be interesting to see that's for sure. Will be watching.

As for the flares. I'm guessing the companies have a plug for the bigger ones?? Any chance of the companies name??

brettakantar.is and formverk.is I know about at least those companies I would recomend brettakantar.is He has been making flares for over 20 years og more. :)

[UCAGQ2]

thanks ICY here in Aus for a quick fix we use garden edging as i have on my truck.

not sure of rim off set but they only 10" wide with 15.5" wide tyres

[AB]

God bless the Bunnings garden edging...lol

I have both widths of edging in the shed on rolls and it works a treat!

[patrol7]

That is a monster love it

[IceY60]

Thanks guys. I wil keep you posted when I´ll start the 44" covertion. I just got yhe rear differntial back from rebuild. It has been adjusted and the bearings are new also. So now I just have find the time to put it in. I´m working day and nightshift braking pots for Alcoa So the sparetime is somthing I don´t know what is any more. 12hour shift and taking alot of extra shifts. I was hoping that santa would give me 44" tires and 15X18-15" rims. But than I remembered that santa dit not exist. So I´ll guess I have buy them my self. That wil have to wait. I´m going to try one more winter with the 38´s but with wider rims. I have 15,5 wide rims that wil go to sandblast as soon as I have time :)

[BigRAWesty]

It's crazy how your rims are wider than diameter...
I ran into a local joint how do 5" wide fg flares. Got a pretty price tag..

[IceY60]

A litle update. The rebuild rear diff is at it place in the rear axle. New oil sealings and new bolts for the rims. And the rear locker has been modyfied :) Here are some pics of the locker. We started around 8:00PM last night and went home to bed around 04:30 after to much beer.

[Parksy]

Lookin good! Hey it might be the photo, but your panhard rod doesn't look straight...

[threedogs]

Quick question do you upgrade the wheel studs to cater for the wider rims?
And Why All the lights in different directions on the roof.
There was a mob called Ziggybuilt who made huge flares years ago,
they were fitted to tojo 80s running 44" tyres street legal in Aust
he drove it from Brisbane to Melb 4x4 show

[fracster]

Re the lights...............So you can see either side of you if out and about in the dark mate, got magnetic ones on mine.

[IceY60]

Re the lights...............So you can see either side of you if out and about in the dark mate, got magnetic ones on mine.

Thats the answer. Its good to have these lights in the dark. specally when you are driving in stormy snow wheater codition. Last winter I used the side lights to drive home work one stormy night. I could see the road sides but did not see front of me so I had no idea how far on my way home I was. These lights are just briliant :D Also when you are letting the air out of the tires in the dark the lights are very usefull. To day me and a friend of mine went a small trip in the mountains play in the snow. The condition was very hard and we had drive as slow as we could to keep the patrols floating on the snow. But it was fun as usual :p

[IceY60]

3pictures of to days trip. We were to busy having fun. Thats why I only took 3 pics
My friend has 96 patrol. It has had a total rebuild and new paint. The engine is 6.5GM turbo diesel and 4L80 automatic tranny Mickey Thompson Baja claw 46/19,5-15 The rims are 18" wide with beadlock 2 extra fuel tanks and air tank. We call hes patrol Monster Inc :D

[james008]

That GQ on 46's is awesome!
The tyres make the car look small. How much did he need to lift it to fit such large tyres?

[threedogs]

great picture makes the stock GQ small.
so conditions very tuff to drive ?
OE wheel studs or do you upgrade ?

[IceY60]

There is an upgrade on the 46" if I remember correct. But there is no need for an upgrade for 38" and 44" But many here in Iceland have uppgrade for the 44" They are made here in Iceland by a mechanical workshop.. Some say that they are copying them from the dana 60 front axles. I´m not shure how much the monster inc is lifted. But i´ll guess it´s around 5-6" next time I meet him I´ll ask him ;)

[Gecko17]

Mate, I've fallen in love with the GQ all over again! Amazing vehicles! Thanks for sharing.

[IceY60]

Your welcome. And merry xmas everyone. Santa did not bring 44" tires to me. So I´ll guess I have to buy them my self :(

[IceY60]

Long time since I been here. I´m thinking about bigger engine now. Cummins is the dream engine. But I can´t find a truck to strip. I might have found an old 4,2 patrol for sale. But non turbo :( But the question is. Will it handle turbo with out braking down? And do I need to change the injectors also? The plan I have is to get an turbo, another injector pump and intercooler. The 4,2 patrol is 1989 model and I´ve been told that before 94 these engines have stronger head. It would be nice to get some advise on how to get a real power in those engines. I´m hoping to hear from the owner soon. I allready sold some parts from this truck If I buy it :)

[growler2058]

Any 4.2 will easily handle a turbo mate no worries as long as its not stuffed already

[Stropp]

Hi Gisli, as growler said the td42 will be fine to turbo providing the engine is ok. there are people over here putting turbos on at 250,000 km on the speedo so no worries, get into it mate and post some pics as you do it up please.

[IceY60]

Good to hear. But how much can the 4.2 engine handle inn turbo preassure?? I was hoping to be able to blast it with 18-20psi with out damaging something. I just tuned my engine up to 16psi now. I´ve been having some problems with the RD28T for a while. The engine gets lazy around 2300rpm and above. I´t was not like that and it worked as hell. Atlest for an 2,8 engine. But now the power has been going down. It works good on low rpm. 1200-2000rpm It´s giving alot of black smoke. The injectors are newlie rebuild. Every filter is new. And spot any leaks from the fuel lines.. So I decided to tune up the turbo. It´s vorking better. but I can still feel like the something is stopping the engine from getting on higher rpm. Seems to very hard to get it upp from 2500-3200rpm. I´m starting to consider to send the injector pump to an rebuild :/

[happygu]

Gisli,

You don't need to push the old 4.2 Diesels to 18 PSI to get good results, and many will tune them for around 10 - 13 PSI and be happy to have an engine that goes well, but will last forever ...... on the other hand, there are lots of guys now pushing bigger Turbos and boosts, and as long as they are tuned well, seem to last ok too.

Mic

[Stropp]

I run mine at 15 psi but with a td05 turbo and cross country intercooler with 3" dump pipe and exhaust, it's a later motor but some guys are pushing 30 psi, I am very happy with mine, does everything I want and pulls like a train.

[IceY60]

I could be happy with 15psi. But to my other problem with the RD28T. Yesterday I tuned to turbo up to 16psi. I got a litle more power but I´m still wondering what the hell is going on. It's just not in to high rpm. as soon as the engine goes over 2300rpm it gets lazy and wont go easily over 2300rpm. The fuel filters are new. Air filter is new. Injectors are newly rebuild. I can´t find anything wrong with the fuel lines. Everything is like new inside the fueltank. This engine is starting to piss me off. At 3000rpm it seems to be stuck. But running in 1. or 2. gear I can turn the engine to 4-5000rpm with any problems. The engine used to work good and the power was very good compered to an 2.8 The turbine has run around 5000km and I always let the engine run a couple of minute before I turn it of. So what´s the next thing to do Injector pump??? And yea while I remember. the engine does alot of black smoke when driving in 4. or 5. gear upp hils it´s like a black fog behind me. I now the engine is not getting to much fuel. Because I´ve checked the screw for the fuel volume and It´s as the same place as the sealed injector pumps are. I´m just getting confused.

[BigRAWesty]

Yea I'd say to much fuel.. I'd go back to stock settings and go again..
Add boost and then a little fuel..
Have you got egt gauges fitted??
Watch them like a hawk..
Have you got a dyno tuner around so you can see what's actually happening when you adjust something??

Injector is in stock settings. Always has been. I have no EGT gauges yet. I have 3 row radiator and it never gets to hot. Always around the first quarter on the gauge. So I dont worry so much about the over heating. But It would better to have EGT gauge. We are starting to wonder about the timing on the injector pump. My friend had an idea. Maybe the timing is not working on higher rpm. Is that something that can be fixed with out removing the pump? I check the timing on the timing belt and everything matches. I don´t know the word for this thing wich is suposed to change the timing on the pump when the rpm gets higher. Atleast not the english word. Would be nice if someone could tell me that and also could it be fixed og changed. If I have remove the injector pump.. Then I´m thinking of another pump to put to rebuild and change when I get it back. In that way I don´t have to stop the truck for a maybe few days or some. I´m renting the truck out to a filmaker called peagsus. Tehy are doing a tv series here in Iceland. And the main actor is suposed to own the truck in the series. So I can´t stop the truck for to time. Time is money :p

[BigRAWesty]

Not familiar with the 2.8's so unsure if their a variable timing or not..

If it's gear or chain driven like the 4.2's then yea you'll have to dismantle and adjust..

But I'd go a egt gauge..

[IceY60]

Well. now it seems to be ok on high rpm. But it´s still to lazy when driving up hills. It´s almost working as well as it did before everything got fucked up. But than the boost was only 12psi max. Now it goes from 14-16psi... This engine is realy starting to piss me off. :/

[nipagu7]

just a thought , but , what exhaust system do you have , maybe the catalitic converter or muffeler may be partially blocked .

[IceY60]

Nope. straitgh trough exhaust 3" no muffeler.

[nipagu7]

another longshot ! maybe it is running too cold . I have had experience with this a couple of times many years ago when going snow skiing . we ended up putting a plastic sheet across most of the radiator to make the car run warmer to get better performance until we came down to lower a altitude . I have also read somewhere about someone cooling the intake air to cold with a water to air intercooler so that the fuel mixture would not ignite properly . over here most cars run a little over half way on their temperature gauges . if the car does not run warm enough it will not run efficiently . it would be easy to check , just put some cardboard or plastic over the front of car and maybe also the intercooler intake just for a quick test . be careful not to run it too long or you will cook the motor .

[BigRAWesty]

I'd leave the ic for the minute. You want to get the air as dense as possible.

But I do agree with the radiator to bring up the engine temps..

Have you had it tuned properly??

[IceY60]

It has always had a good running until now. But. I don´t give a shit now. Because I talk to the owmner of the 4,2 patrol and found out that it has a turbo. But the original non turbo injector pump is stil in the engine. So I need to find antoher injector pump when I get the truck. I´m going to wisit the guy in may and buy the truck. So mine will soon have a 4.2 again :) Maybe I´ll make a table from the RD28T to have in the living room :p

Ha, Ha Gisli,

I still had the original pump on my 4.2 and added a Turbo - it handled it OK , and so has another friend of mine ....

Mine did have the Aneroid Mod though, which isn't necessary for it to work, it just helped to prevent it belching black smoke all the time.

[apalsson]

G'day Gisli,
Where in "East coast of Iceland" are you. I grew up as a countryman of yours, in Egilsstadir. Been an Aussie now for some 19 years. Still miss snow driving though, we don't get much of that here Downunder

[IceY60]

Hi there. I live in Eskifjörður. 50km from Egilsstaðir :) But one question for all the experts. Does the 4.2 non turbo have the same injector nozzles as the 4.2 turbo??

[IceY60]

Does no one have the answer to my question?

[growler2058]

Yes they do. If you turbo your TD you will need to tune the fuel pump to suit

Sent from my iPhone using my thumb

[BigRAWesty]

Does the factory td42t have different crack pressure to non turbo?
I remember reading the black top came factory De-compressioned a little??

[IceY60]

If I have understood this correct. Than I been told that 1989 the 4.2 was called silvertop. And I been told that it has the same pressure as the turbo engine. It´s aslo suposed to bee stronger engine in 89 than after 94. But I have no idea. That´s why I´m asking you mates all cind of questions about the 4.2. Since I don´t know anything about this engine :)

[BigRAWesty]

I think some things were made a bit bigger in the pre 94 motors, but both have proven themselves to be built proof..

Also I have a 91 sliver top and I think they went up to 94..

[growler2058]

Beneboy has black top and is getting some good power. Both engines are fine for turbo

[IceY60]

Can´t wait to get the 4.2 :D My friend told me that I would just be disappointed with the 4.2. Hes sais that it´s not worth the money. But I look at it this way. I have an engine that I sell for much money. And if I don´t like it. There is always cummins :)

[IceY60]

Washed the trucks today :)

43474

[IceY60]

Went to the mountains yesterday with few friends. 4 trucks on 38" 1 on 44" and one chevy suburban on 49" with cummins :)

This patrol owner desided to break an axle or locking hub. Still waiting for some news from him. I told him to put Y60 axles and throw this dana 44 axle to the trash. He got pulled up all hills on the back. But he could drive on only the rear wheels down all the hills untill we got on hard snow that could hold the truck. So the 48" monster followed him back to the asphalt :D

[happygu]

That looks awesome Gisli....

[IceY60]

Thanks mate :)

[Stropp]

Very nice pics thx

[Wine_maker]

Looks awesome Mate!

Are these GQ's have diesel engines?

What is the lowest temperature when you drive your?
Do you cover front radiator when extreme cold?

All of the Y60´s in the picture have 2.8 TD We don´t need to cover the radiator. That day we had around -5° in the mountain. I have a 3 row radiator and the engine never gets to hot. It can go up the midle of the gauge if I drive it on 5000rpm in the low range for a while. But that only happens when I´m racing with someone. To do that the snow needs to be so hard that the truck hardly marks in the snow. But the most of the driving is in the first 3 gears. So it´s not often that we get to race with each other. :p

[Wine_maker]

We cover radiator for faster heating of the engine when -20 outside.
Iceland monster race? Great hobby mate!

[IceY60]

No need to do that here :)

[IceY60]

Latest ideas. I´ve been thinking for a long time to put the truck on 44" tires. Now I´m thinking about 46" tires. I´m thinking about Mickey thompson baja claw 46/19.5-16" The rims will be 16X20" That wil give a great flotation. And it will look good on the truck. What do you guys think?

[hallvard]

Great off road terrain! Around here it is forbidden to drive outside the road. Seems like you can drive around where ever you like :)

[apalsson]

Mate, don't they say the tyre size on people's trucks is inversely proportional to the nut size ;)

I think it will pretty good but do the tyres come with a free step ladder to into the car with or are they that chunky you can climb up the lugs.

You'll be impressed with the 4.2 motor Gisli. Especially coming from the 2.8 it will be so much better and more powerful with the right work done to it.
I'd love a patrol with 46 inch tyres =)

Do it... Do it..

[BigRAWesty]

We did pass an 80 series while in the high country which would have looked right at home uo your way..

Not running 46" tyres, but they looked 37's and were fat.. Also had a crazy offset and 6" flares to cover it...

Had a wicked stance..

So at what stage do you start guard chopping??

He already has a guard chop

[IceY60]

Whell. Really bad news. I whent 1200km to buy the TD42 patrol. When I took a test drive. I lost all the respect for this engine. It did not give any power and it had less power than RD28T After taking a small inspection I notised that the turbo was warn out and I decided not to buy it. Now I´m hoping to find an old ram with the 12V cummins engine and manual gearbox. This is the second time I try a TD42 and I can´t say that it´s worth it. I´ll guess that the 2.8 engine has to stay for now :(

[BigRAWesty]

Unlucky mate. It is hard to find quality these days as they are getting on in age..

Hang in there, something will come along..

[IceY60]

I will find something. But for now the 2,8 will stay for a while. Cummins is what I will be looking for :)

What about a viper v10 motor??

Have you checked the small gauze filter in the banjo bolt? It can also be fuel lines or hoses going to injection pump sucking small amount of air. Does the valvetrain and the hydraulic lifters sound good? All hoses and gasket between turbo and intake manifold is in good shape? Also check if u got high pressure in the cooling system;)

[IceY60]

Everything seems to be ok. There is no gauze filter in the banjo bolt. So I´m guessing that the problem is because of no filter. Some Icelanders take these filters out and say that they are important. Instead of cleaning them once every year. I checked the timing also and everything maches. So my guess is a broken injector pump.

Mate the gauze is buried in the pump under the bolt if it is there as It is common for it to be removed, check down there with a torch.

Whell. After alot of thinking. I have decided to Build the big one for 46" tires. Got 16" rims just a few days ago. They will be build up 16x20" I´m still waiting for my donor to come so I can move the engine over to the big one. The engine broke down so it´s standing outside the garage waiting for an new heart. After that I´ll start to move the axles. The rear axle will back by 10cm and the front axle wil go forward 5cm. That will make a big difference when driving in alot of snow. I´m hoping to get my frineds wlding borrowed soon so I can start the building :) Cheers mates ;)

[growler2058]

Sounds awesome mate, remember plenty of pics please

[Stropp]

Yep I'm with growler, plenty of pics please and good luck with the build.

[IceY60]

Thanks :) I´m hoping to get started on the building around new year. I´m still getting some of the material I need and saving upp some money for new flares. They aren´t cheep.

[happygu]

Lookin forward to seeing this Gisli .......

Keep us all entertained with your updates.

Some of the guys over here is Australia looked at the giant flares from your side of the world, and found out that they cost more than your firstborn child .... hope you can get a good deal and start soon

[IceY60]

The flares cost to much. But we need them so we can´t cry about the price :/
Here are some pics from today. I borrowed two tires from friend :) Need 4" lift more and some cutting and grinding :D

I can see that...

[Jazzokatt]

Wow, great looking Troll

[IceY60]

I´m looking at equipment to adjust the air in the tires. But it costs alot. I will be able to control the air as I like and se the preassure in each tire.. Don´t know when I´ll buy it, but I can´t wait to get my hands on it :D

[IceY60]

I have one question. Does anyone know if the gearbox from TD42 has been used on a 5.9 cummins 12valve??? I really want to install the cummins engine some day. I have a friend that has 6.2gm diesel engine with a manual gearbox from TD42. He bougth an adapter to use the gearbox to the 6.2 engine. But the cummins engine has more tourqe and power than the 6.2l. If I can´t use the TD42 gearbox I´ll fave to find NV4500 or getrag 360

[Stropp]

i believe there is someone here in Perth that has a 5 speed behind a cummins but has had a few problems (read lots) due to the torque of the motor

Thanks for the answer. Then I will try to find NV4500 gearbox :)

[Snow Patrol]

Awesome setup..

[IceY60]

Hit another wall today. :( I went to my friend to help him with a preassure regulator. A took to 16" rims with me to try on hes patrol. One with 12cm backspace and the other with 13cm backspace. It seems that I can only have 11cm of backspace on the rims. So It will be alot of work to modify them :/ But good things happen slowly so I´m not stressed about it. This problem is because of the lift. then I need lift for the steering also. There is special bracket made be a company here in Iceland And it wil only allow 11cm of backspace on the rims. I´ll have to call the company and check if they can modify it in some way for me.

good luck mate, i hope you can get the mods done that you need.

[IceY60]

After speeking to another friend. We came to a solution. We wil make this braket our selfes. After that send it to a special company that who inspect the welding. And if everything goes right we wil get a stamp on it wich alows me to use this bracket :)

[Stropp]

good work, inhope tou can get it approved :)

[IceY60]

One question. Does the TD42 have electrical throttle in Y61 like the RD28T? Or is it just like on the Y60 wire from the pedal??

[threedogs]

Pretty sure its mechanical as in a cable

[IceY60]

Hi mates. Whell after alot of thinking and trying to make up my mind I finaly decided to keep on the my cummins dream. I found an 90 model engine with only 110km on the clock. 727 auto and NP203 transfercase. I decided that the the 727auto tranny would not be used. So I started looking for an manual gearbox. I found a guy that want to trade the 727 for an T5x2276 gear box from an Daf truck. It´s quet easy to make the NP203 fit on the gearbox. And a friend of mine has a patrol with 5,9 and getrag360 gearbox np 203 and the patrol transfercase. So he is going to draw the plate that I need to bolt together NP203 and patrol tranny.. After alot of thinking about tires I decided to start with 44"dic cepec tires. And later try the 46" tires. Now I´m waiting excited at home to hear from a another friend that is going to look at the cummins engine for me. I´m bying this engine for alot of money and its over 700km away from where I live. So getting an person to look at the engine is very important. Hoping to seal the deal tonight :)

good luck mate, i hope it all works out and i look forward to pictures of the progress on the build :)

[IceY60]

Thanks mate. Just sealed the deal. So the new engine is mine now :)

[Stropp]

Awesome, look forward to the pictures of the conversion :)

[IceY60]

The engine is in a storage for now. Hoping to get started next month. Lots of measuremnts need to be done. I´m looking for an gearbox. getrag 360 or NV4500. The T5x2276 wil to much problem to install. And I´m not that into using the 727auto tranny that comes with the engine.. I´m hoping to get the beast running in a few months. There is alot of custom making that has to be done wich will cost alot of money. for example building toghether NP203 to the patrol transfercase. drive shafts, and so on. By the way does anyone now the name of the patrol transfercase?

[IceY60]

Whell. not much to say here. The truck is still standing in the driveway. I have been looking at youtube. And found this. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U79z5lNIfp4 I´m starting to fall in love with this engine :D They use the gearbox from the 3.0 Y61. Does anyone know if that gearbox is stronger than the gearbox from the TD42?

[Parksy]

I'm pretty sure they are similar apart from a few differences with the gear selector and a few extra sensors. But a tb/td box should handle a fair amount of power.

Thanks mate. Is there a bellhousing kit in Australia to use the gerabox from 3.0 og 4.2 to the cummins engine? I have been looking on the internet for a kit But I can´t find it. I know that you can get kit to use 4.2 gearbos on 6,2 and 6,5 gm engine.
