Sooooo ... as of Wednesday he's in for some serious love and attention - LPG coming out, 148 litre long range petrol tank going in, high flow injectors, new fuel pump and sender, the original throttle body, TPS and distributor, along with a new Wolf ECU to control everything. New cylinder heads going in also to decompress the engine a little for petrol, and a full touch up whilst the engine is open ...
Auto box coming out for an overhaul, including possible new torque converter if needed, band adjusting etc etc. Getting new flexi oil lines put in from the tranny oil cooler to get them away from the turbo and dump pipe, as well as new power steering lines and cooler.
Annnnnd (but wait, there's more!!! lol) - Rodney is going to give it a going over to test all the electrics and get those bugs sorted also - this is going to include ripping out ALL old and unnecessary wiring and cleaning things up in general ...
Hopefully things will be back to fairly standard (ignition etc at least) and then to throw it on the dyno for a final tweak and tune ...
It's the least I can do - yep, it's more money, but I love this truck and quite frankly, through a myriad of issues (which the Vic boys saw first hand) it never let me down in times of most need ... no more band aid fixes and touch ups to keep things moving - time to sort it once and for all.
Fingers firmly crossed!!!!
is the auto up for the job??? or world money be better spent on a turbo 400 or something????????Quote:
