Don't worry. I don't have any money anyways.

Need to get something finished and unload it.

Please don't do this to me. I don't want you to be lost.

12.2 with 33" tires and what not.

Was 14 before the tires.

Haven't been driving it lately. Cyl 7 miss keeps recurring. I swapped plug 6 and 7....7 was really fouled out. Ran it, it was fine. Scanned and nothing. A week or so later.....cyl 7 miss and random cyl misfire codes. I think the coil pack is going.

Also I removed my rear bumper and made the reverse lamps into the turns. Reverse lights will be aftermarket LED lamps mounted on the rain gutter at the back....once I get this damn misfire BS fixed.

It's still leaking oil from the pump/timing cover too.....but I've been keeping an eye on it. As long as its local driving I'm fine. Interstate/high revvs and it really fucking pukes out.

As for the 109, I've decided it's getting an M30B35. Began disassembling the RRC so I can have the frame. Man this is a ridiculous project.

Right around 13. Could do better if my commute wasn't riddled with soccer moms that can't drive

Just did a 120 mile round trip about 50/50 highway/city.

I filled up the Range right on the empty line/fuel light and got around 6.5 gallons. When I got back home im hovering just above the empty line so I think I have about a gallon left from what I filled.

That would put me at 21.8mpg..... Wat. I was feather footing the pedal cruising the speed limit the entire time. I don't think I've ever broke 20mpg with the p38 even on a drive from SoCal to San Fran best I got was 18 mostly highway.

After not driving it for months I was out running around in my Classic last night. Needs new tires badly which it will be getting tomorrow. I always forget how much I love driving this old truck.

Gorgeous range! I almost worship these things!

Guy who owns a bike shop near me has 2 classics rotting away in front of his store, been killing me for years to see them like that...

^^ Ever get it to work?

Almost seems to me that the diff lock isn't engaging/releasing all the way.

I got it to work... sort of. I put the driveshaft back on, drove it around in the locked position and it locked up and the lights came on. Tried to unlock it and the lights stayed on... although I am pretty sure it is not locked anymore. Idk what's going on lol

Litterally had this issue with my p38 the other day. Drove it down the street then snap sounded like a blown tire. I sheered the U joint to the transfer case connect to the front drive shaft. The driveshaft itself smacked around the undercarriage pretty good and smashed up the trans oil pan. Luckily it happened next to some guy wrenching on their car, and I borrowed some tools to get the driveshaft removed and drove it home. This is the second time this has happened with this p38...

Damn, that's no good. Though it sounds like you got off easy, I've heard stories of smashed up transmissions and all sorts of madness.

I just rebuilt my front driveshaft this weekend. Honestly, it wasn't all that bad. The rear driveshaft was worse IMO, I changed the "rotoflex" guibo thing and replaced the bushing in the driveshaft while I was in there. Huge pain in the ass, that bushing.

Truck rides smooth as silk now. If only I could figure out what's up with my transfer case. There's an access panel right where the locking lever is, maybe I can pop that off and get a look at what's going on
