“How do you say ‘owned’ in Russian??? OWNT!!!”

Some people shit kittens when you do an engine swap from a different model of the same brand or a later generation engine. To each their own I say.

Rodney’d would have done a better job than this.

Not doubting you, but any references? Might help me in my search for certain obscure parts that not even LMC can source.

The pickups stopped being the same after ‘87, but you are correct about the Suburban. It’s insane that parts for my ‘86 fit both a ‘74 and a ‘91.

Ryan, if you’ve ever been to Radcliff you’d understand. You’ve got your choice between soldiers and the occasional Marine from Knox, drunk/meth’d out lunatics from south of E-town, and... You know what? It doesn’t matter how you slice it.

The really annoying part is that I was stone sober with my sons in the truck. We were on a boys weekend and were on our way home from camping.

Or to give everyone a dose of schadenfreude, cast Terrance Howard.

Bit of advice: Don’t ever park at a business that’s closed or where strange things are known to happen. Rest stop, truck stop, or a restaurant where you can order some food.

As someone who has lost friends to drunk driving, I think this is amazing. That cynical part of me thinks the only reason these folks are complaining is because they’re the type that thinks there’s no problem with having had “a beer or two” before getting behind the wheel and they don’t want to be confronted by their…

Might I suggest an old Chevy truck?

Ha. That was close to my night last night, but it started two weeks ago.

I just want to know what shop is going to do your rust work. I need one badly.

My ‘86 Suburban is lifted, so I can see if over the top of anything short of an F-350.

You’d have to put it behind a plastic “break glass” type panel to discourage Lemmings from pushing it to see if it really worked.

Here’s to hoping like hell the bean counters listened to the engineers when they requested materials stronger than required...

If you’re flying Spirit, don’t forget to pack a pillow to sit on. Their seats feel like a folding metal chair with no recline whatsoever.

Your username is hilarious when combined with the context of mine, and you have a very good point. If the torque band is uneven, it’s useless for rock crawling, but perfectly fine for mall crawling which is what most of these Jeeps will be used for.

Horsepower is fine and dandy, but what about the torque numbers? That may give us a clue as to why a larger displacement engine has lower HP ratings.

Honestly, couldn’t tell you. I usually don’t use the WiFi except for the hour of free WiFi from T-Mobile.
