I don't know, my son swears by turbos. He calls it free horsepower lol. Keeps trying to get me to use a 3bt from a forklift in my BII. Mine was kinda slow with 31's too, but I figure they're not made to haul ass anyway. Haven't driven it with the 32's on her yet.

Turbo diesel is good for torque too. Move the BII down the road nicely lol.

Well that's definitely a good buy if it all still works. Don't know what you would have to do to hook it to the transfer case. You may wanna put that in the turbo section and ask there too. Or just get it for another project lol.

Hooked up my extra tranny cooler and topped the trans off. Tried figuring out whats wrong with tge brakes.. Air in the lines or something. Thing could do with a brake flush. The brake fluid almost looks like burnt atf lol. Took it about 100ft down the road infront of my house. Unfortunately it still pulls hard to the left. I checked the toe and thats dead on. Does anyone think an alignment shop could fix it or is this truck a lost cause?

Are you sure the brakes not grabbing making it pull ? She might need a shop to make sure you didn't tweak the front end to badly.

I doubt that, not saying it couldnt be. I did hit that Ram pretty hard though. :( i did drive it a couple days after the accident with it cobbled together with bubble gum and popsicle sticks and it definately pulled to the left from the collision.

I thought maybe that bad balljoint was messing it up but appearently not so much

Idk, if you've been through the whole front end and didn't notice any damage I'd do the alignment shop just to see. If that doesn't help , gotta check the frame for sure. Hate to think she was toast.

Where did you hear that from? I did a little hypermiling in my 8 and never had an issue.

I want to put a 13B-REW in a old school cooper or a 1st gen Ranger. Maybe a 20B in the Ranger. [emoji33]

Nice B2 by the way. They are becoming more rare every day. Please do not let this one die.

I was hoping to not have to take it to a shop but i might have to like youre saying. I feel like mechanics will think its just an old beater that someones driving into the ground. Need to find a good shop.

Those would be cool builds Hoosier.

Should be able to get alot done this week. Still have to hook up trans temp sensor. Figure out the brakes, get all the lights working and aligned somewhat and put the front bumper on.
