Yeah should be interesting! Once I get it situated I’ll start looking for another engine. Might as well replace the carpet and other cosmetic stuff before then until I find another engine and get set up proper.

Never done an engine swap so I think it’s time I start researching it. I’m sure I could swap out the head gasket too real easy since I shut the engine down literally within minutes of detecting the misfire, so no engine damage is likely I think, but still, at damn near half a million...

I don’t know man, I’m seriously considering making a second trip and just trailering my runner to my new home and dropping a replacement engine in her I don’t want to get rid of her, plus the F**kwits I’ve delt with from craigslist are so annoying I pretty much would rather just push it off a...

I was hoping to get it past 500K too but I’ll leave that for someone else. I was going to replace the engine at my leisure, but I suddenly found myself moving out of state and I’m already going to be pulling a trailer. But I may store it if I have to and just come back for it later if I don’t...

Thanks guys, I’m not done with the 3rd gens just yet, but it will be at least a year or two before I’ll be ready to go again. First decent offer on the truck and I’ll probably take it. I’m literally leaving in less than a week so I’m motivated to sell haven’t even had time to wash it or...

Pretty sure the head gasket

Thanks man, I’ll be back again once I’m settled and can mess with a new project. I’m def staying with the 3rd gen, love these things and if I absolutely can’t sell this one before I leave, I won’t be too upset if I have to store it at a friends for a year or so before I can retrieve it...

443,037 miles. That’s on the original engine and tranny. Pulled hard right up till the end too. Couldn’t have been a more perfect way for that engine to go. Solid till the end.

Well it happened, she finally gave up the ghost after 443,037 miles and like 22 years. This actually happened back in March but I haven’t done anything other than park it once I realized the head gasket blew on cylinder 3. I parked it immediately with the intention of swapping engines at...

It wasn’t me — I’m pretty stupid, but even I’m not stupid enough to get stuck anywhere for 5 days unless I just happened to have landed on the moon. Also, what dumbass thinks they can’t survive without food for 5 days? 5 days of eating shitty hotsauce just made this idiot’s gut & ass hurt for...

Ok. Am I just really effing stoned and reading this wrong? You running 30k mile intervals between oil changes? Or are you just saying it’s been 30k since you did it yourself?

Indeed! I replaced the 4wd visor card on mine with a shiny new one just because I could. Btw, what the hell happened to the “like” feature? Did they get rid of it since I was here last?

Never understand this stuff. Must be a rich guy thing I suppose. If it were me with 15k sitting around doing nothing, i would never look twice at this truck. I’d take a 5k 4Runner and dump 10k worth of cool shit into it long before I’d ever just drop that kind of cash on a clean but otherwise...

Throw some Holy water on it — def sounds possessed by the evil spirit of an 87 Dodge Aries k-car. Trust me on this. Don’t ask ok — I’ve been places ... I’ve ... seen things ... things a man ought not see
