well ducal
what is it your working on ? and what needs to be done

Well I have a brother that runs a local yard and he has three montys sitting in the back. I have a great 3.0 90. But he has a 89 diesel and two 90 3.0s. So first choice is 4cil diesel or LWB 3.0. All need rebuilds, having 2ea 3.0 90s would have all the parts needed to make one perfect (one has OME kit with T bars. The 89 is stock but looks better overall. So that is stage one. Then the rebuild. So engine rebuild kits and difficulty plus ease and power after rebuild. I have rebuilt 2ea turbo Supras' so I know I could handle the rebuild. but I am stuck on what type I want. I guess this is a good problem to have. I am leaning towards the diesel because I already have a mint 90 3.0 but I love it so much I want another for cross-country.
Crap, my wife will only let me have two bays in the garage or I would get all three. I have 7 more days to decide before he drains them and they get vultured. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" />

well the diesels are no power houses
sure there are a few things that can be done to squize out a little more power.
all in all i rebuilt my 2.3 for about 2 grand
700 for the pump and injectors, 500 for shop
and another 500 for parts. and well the other 300 in a little things. lol
but i do enjoy it and its different. it wont win a race off the line but drive nice and has plenty of go on the road.
iam sure i can to some tweaking with the pump to get a little more out of it

so if you read the other post i have a strange noise from the rear lsd.
but today took it for the first trip on the freeway
the little 2.3 td is a little slow off the line but once underway and under boost she moves pretty good.
i have never driving a gen 1 swb with the v-6 just the 2.6
so its my only comparison .
although i got off topic.
i blew the heater block out of the hole. i think do to old radiator cap. pulled off and checked. it made a good pop when it let loose and called for the durango to tow her home
and qiuckly fixed the problem new cap and soild plug

Yeah, these things are slow but move pretty good once into boost. Pretty fun dieseling around, even if i drive it wide open everywhere i get about 22mpg in town. It's better if i drive it nice best i've done is 24mpg in town, on the highway doing 65-70 i got about 22mpg. It would probably do great if i drove 55 on the highway, i think much past that it starts to drink diesel.

is your ip tweaked ?
my is still untouched from the shop that rebuilt it.
not sure if i want to start messing with it got to break the engine in first. been trying to keep the boost under 8
haha at times its hard.
need to get a dakota digital . and get my tach working.
but i have the key gauges. oil,water, boost

almost thought i had some real problems
oil pressure gauge started reading 0 when warm. at ideal
had two older senders swaped then in one didnt work the other worked but would not go above 35 or below 28
bought new sender. 38 bucks installed worked didnt really read high on cold start just mid say like 45-50
and when warm 0 on ideal. got adapter 1/8 bspt to 1/8 npt
installed real gauge so far all looks well
almost 90 on cold and around 11-13 when warm
