AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Well I'm back to my old job with Verizon now being a field engineer and the mialage was killing me in my Hemi so I found this on some back road out in the stix. I'm digging it big time, 80k miles and runs like a top. I only drove it a couple hours today but its already much easier to manuevar than my quad cab... duhh lol I do miss the heated seats but hell this thing has a suspension seat like a semi, damn thing bounces up and down. And yes I'm already considering doing a non intercooled turbo setup on it. My main goal with this is MPG tho not performance, alhough the 265/75/16 tires are not helping that matter, but it looks sweet as hell tho. As soon as I saw it it brought me back to my first technica I had and I knew I must have it. http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/AndyW_/IMG_3994.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/AndyW_/IMG_3996.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/AndyW_/IMG_3997.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a86/AndyW_/IMG_3995.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 nope, 87. Didnt know they still had the black and gold scheme in 87 but low and behold. And I dont think there are any burn outs in its future lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 NICE where's the snow? itll be here soon enough, dont rush it. This actualy had a plow on it, but with my 48" snowblower and skid steer I have the snow removal in check. So I used that as my bargaining, so he kept the plow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmyers151 Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 That's way too clean to have had a plow attached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 it was just a driveway pusher. The guy was selling it because he didnt want it sitting outside this winter. He loved these like we do conquests. It has 6 cyl front brakes and lil stuff like that that makes it a pretty stought lil truck. I just gotta squeez out a lil more gusto by freeing up the exhaust and put a jacobs ignition on it. Anyone have a header for it by chance? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88TSI_Rob Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Welcome to the club. They are a piece of cake to turbo and they really need it, especially with the auto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 Welcome to the club. They are a piece of cake to turbo and they really need it, especially with the auto. Yah I'v only owned it 11 hours and I'm already seriously contemplating it. I just wish I would have kept a wiring harness from one of my parts cars now, hind sight bahhh. I have all the mechanicals to go intercooled or non just none of the wiring down to the ecu. I even have an 87 auto ECU from my flatty I had. I'm going to have to start diggin thru my piles, I'm already am not liking the idea of a carb, I'v never had luck with them. Feel free to throw any links or pointers my way. Great this just put mt green car another year behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
strang3majik Posted August 24, 2010 Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 thats a good looking little truck. Does it have the rollover warning gauge in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyW Posted August 24, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2010 thats a good looking little truck. Does it have the rollover warning gauge in it? lol, sure does, I gotta find me a big tail hill now to test it out. Sadly I think this carbed 2.6 with the big ole tires would have a lil trouble breaking 10 degrees. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
