Got everything pretty much buttoned up and took it for a little test drive around my neighborhood. It was AWESOME! but i can understand why they never sold these here now. This thing is a road slug <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> until the turbo kicks in and it gets up to speed but it takes a little bit to get there for sure. Even though it is slow a loaded trailer wouldn't slow it down more, this thing is going to be great out on the trails and up the hills on the highway.


The bad; the injection pump leaks out of the throttle shaft this is very depressing, my power steering pump needs a smaller pully to work at idle RPMS. I definately want to get my glow plugs wired up, it was in the 40's this morning and it took a little effort to start. I've also got the temp sender mucked up somehow, it always reads hot.


Everything else left to do is truck related stuff, shocks, rear springs, rear axle, maybe an alignment and interior bits like driver door and center console.
