I'll have to agree with CPOM, its a relatively simple motor, much easier to work on most of the newer motors with all the complicated electronics. The one thing I've never been able to do is to get my rodeo to spin the tires from a dead stop without the use of the brake. Maybe the 2wds have smaller tires. Mine came with the 4.56s and the auto. It will however spin the tires quite nicely when I do actually do a burnout, does light them both up and if all is well it will make the shift to 2nd gear. Not powerhouses, but they get the job done.
