I thought about that. And I haven't ruled it out. My best friends wife's sister's husband (boy that's a mouthful) is an auto buff or works for the auto industry there or something like that and has good access. BUt now that I have this board I may have to hook up with one of my new mates there in Jolly Ole England and coordinate with ya'll to ship me one.
I can rebuild my 4.2 for just under a thousand dollars (US) and so I'll have to think about it long and hard first.
But the miles per gallon would eventually pay for the engine. I just have to decide whether I want to wait that long.
I'm guessing I could order a 300Tdi that would directly bolt on to my existing transmission with not too much trouble?
I dropped visiting another board for the flamming they do. You would think people would have some manners when in a public forum but I guess that's too much to ask. I was responded to by one guy, "do your research before asking any questions". Hell, I thought I was doing research by asking questions. So after I researched the problem I found I didn't need their grumpy know-it-all attitudes.
