Well it starts, so the problem with the P/N circuit must not be too critical.

Ranger Dave · 07-08-2012, 02:07 PM

ive been drivin it for a few days now. which it had the 146 tranny

the switch isnt even hooked up

Awesome to see someone give the 2.9 some love.

Take it from someone who use to have the title "Official defender of the 2.9", no one around here likes that engine....I really dont know why...everyone ive ever seen has been a tough lil engine that will work its ass off for ya....

At the end of the day it was your time, your work, etc and if thats what you wanted to do then so be it.

I for one think it is cool.

later,
Dustin
