Yea I want to say those planes actually had the same 5.6 engine that my Commi Jap truck has in it. lol
Wasn't it mitsubishi that made those planes?

[Jeeptech01]

Ha actually not sure who made the planes. I would assume the converted all their factories the same way we did.

Funny how Germany, then Italy came back to buy Jeep huh? lmao

[BigClay]

I had 4 vehicles that were all on the road at one point, so 3 is nothing I really like driving something different every couple days, so buying a seperate tow vehicle is actually a plus in my mind haha

I guess that's what I'm thinking with a 260k tow rig. If it spends 90% of it's life in the driveway, you can afford downtime for even major issues.

I'm with you on this one Clay. I like having three road legal vehicles, even if it means driving high mileage stuff.

Also, like 1fox2go said, the 260 shouldn't be the end all for a decision. Take a look at it and if it looks like a lot of highway miles and the truck is clean and in good shape........ If the price is right it may be worth a look.

Well the Cummins has already been sold, but on the bright side I am looking at a 2500 V10 Dodge tomorrow. It only has 105k on it, and is a manual, long bed, extended cab, 4x4. So hopefully this will end the search.

[1fox2go]

ahh the manual trans is the same as the one behind the cummins

You wont be disappointed in the v10, other than the shitty fuel mileage

[zjrog]

So, whats the chances of the V10 fitting a ZJ?

Pretty good, it's a 360 with two more cylinders.

[C.C.Reed]

Not a ZJ but they moved the firewall back 15". . .

Good once you cut out the cowl and firewall. Oh and take off the hood forever.



Clay I didnt even consider the manual equipped v-10. You should be able to get some more mileage out of that v-10 without a power sapping 46 or 48 variant slushbox behind it.

[biggoofy]

that v10 durango is awesome but its very slow i managed to drive it while it was in the final stages of the build as i am very good friends with the owner of the shop that built it suspension is super soft and it sounds amazing

[BigClay]

Drove the 2500 V10, negotiated with the guy... picking it up Tuesday!

[Jeeptech01]

Cool! Pics or it didnt happen.

[BigClay]

LOL! Of course the guy could still screw me until I have the title in my hand, but he seems like a good guy. I am going tomorrow to get the title and pick up the truck (and of course pay him haha)

So here she is

[Jeeptech01]

Clean!

[BigClay]

Very clean, and it only has 106k on it.

[Jrgunn5150]

Sweet deal man!

As far as V10 swapping goes, other than weight balance, why wouldnt everything just move forward? As in the bell stays in the same place?

[1fox2go]

Nice. Congrats.

If you need any help with stuff let me know. My pops is the dodge god when it comes to these trucks
