Triton engine...yeah either the coil failed or the spark plug has gotten off the ride. If the coiled failed unplug the injector to avoid melting the cat down. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

This is a great thread I just stumbled upon. I mean if you dont dig bread trucks with Cummins power and a gear jammer for a transmission you arent alive... Good luck woth the repairs. Based on the thread build, you guys will Macgyver this thing back together. Did I see an M1031 early on? I...

This is fugly but possibly the greatest thing ever made. Never knew it existed. Begging for a healthy V8 and maybe a 6L80...just sayin' Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Triton V10...9mpg towing, unloaded, 65mph or 85mph. Doesnt change anything. I'd say if you are spending the money gear as low as you can tolerate. The slight rpm increase will not really affect your cruise eceonomy unless you drive like a mad man. You will be running heavier tires, increasing...

I think that is a good setup. Don't forget a pressure regulator to step it down from TBI to carb pressure. I doubt you'll ever have to do it. If you start with a new TBI it probably will be just fine. Once you swap to big block power you won't regret it. I do like the rattle and smell but she...

A low mileage LS and matching trans on a stand alone harness with the right tune goes a long way. You will never have an issue finding a starter in the middle of nowhere. Nor do you have all the emissions BS to deal with. A K30 is a great starting place. You would probably be just fine getting...

Torch the plastic front suspension off and install a real axle. Project done... Everything else is pretty solid for what you need to do with it. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

Best bet it to find something off the shelf that works and then make your own stubs to go to the frame. Sounds like you cant weld so maybe get the pieces and bring it to a welder. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

The Ecoboost is far from complex. Sure it has twin turbos, maybe the direct injection is complicated but it has relatively simple emissions and drinks 87. Plus the timing chains are at the front of the engine. My 2.7 touches 24-25 in the summer. Not sure why anyone would buy a diesel past 07...

Time will tell but a 5.3 will need maybe a set of exhaust manifolds in a quarter million miles while drinking the cheapest fuel. The diesel block will go that long but chances are everything bolted to it will need to be replaced two to three times. Not to mention the fuel and def is going to...

Yeah I know that feeling. What about an oval? Maybe a squeeze would help without sacrificing too much. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

I thought about this for a few days. I may try to rework the end of the header to clear the shackle. I have the rasp you talk about and I like it. It scares small children :) I think the only fitment issue is getting a 3" pipe around the tcase. I have a 205 so it is big. I'd really have to...

Since you are asking this I'd go DC to DC. Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

When you say stock big block manifolds square body 454 or late model 8.1? I may just go shorty headers. I'm fine with reworking the while exhaust. I can reuse a lot of it on my CUCV that still has the 6.2 diesel. I just want to eliminate frame and shackle interference before going further. I'm...

So I have an 80% identical truck. I started with some $99 Jegs long tube specials and I was good on frame clearance but they occupy the same space as the shackles. At some point I need to either rework what I have or maybe go to the ones you are running. Still not sure what is easiest. I need to...

This is my fully functioning generator truck and the newly finished CUCV/Dante's Peak clone Suburban. Sent from my Moto G (5) Plus using Tapatalk

I've got one for $19,000. Suspension, armor, recovery and electrics are already sorted. https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/2013-taco-trd-v6-auto-with-arb-bullbar.218776/&share_tid=218776&share_fid=7335&share_type=t&link_source=app Sent from my SM-T380 using Tapatalk

This truck is a turn key TRD off-road extended cab with 105,000 miles on it. It recently has had all fluids changed and fresh spark plugs. Brakes are brand new and the 265 Duratracs have about 1/3 life left. Underneath the truck has Bilstein shocks, about 2 inches of lift from 5100...
