I was at an auction in Cortez CO last night buying fleet trucks for work when I spot this 1992 7.3L IDI Diesel Ambo. My wife was saying, "don't look at it, stay away, it hasn't run in like 2 years, don't even look at it" and I know she was absolutely right in every way, the last thing I need is another van/ambo/any boxlike vehicle that needs work...
So... I might have raised my hand a couple times to scratch an itch, shield my eyes, pick my nose or something and maybe the auctioneer thought I was bidding...
So anyway, she fired right up, with a whiney power steering pump and only maybe 2nd and 4th gear the big ol girl chugged all the way (60+ miles 7000-8000ft) back to Durango at 60 mph no sweat... in the pitch dark, no dash lights, deer, elk, range cattle, bears, ok, might have been a little sweat but either way, made it!
