Silverado1994
I'm Awesome
It's not a junk pile of an engine when it had the mechanical injector pump. It became a nightmare to owners with the introduction of the Stanadyne electronic pump. I remember having to push these things off of the friggin' transport because they wouldn't start due to pump issues. Brand frickin' new and aint even on the lot yet they were trouble.Hmmmm, I don't know much details about this car ... I know that the gearbox is like you said - 4L80e and in the rear axle I have a G80 differential lock ... I have nothing at the front (only a winch under the bumper hahaha).
And why diesel have pretyy bad reputation ? "Grandfather" of this engine was installed first time into Humvee - so it can nt be a piece of sh**t.
