Debating whether cost effective to fix up now. A 'little love' in my case has meant a cracked head. Starting to overheat again on drives up Silver Star road.
Yep. A lot of guys think diesel means power these days...those things were never race cars, they're fuel efficient get-ya-where-youre-going machines. The one I mentioned I think has the pump turned up a bit, a straight pipe, and some intake work. Basically a day in the shop and it'll cruise the malahat happily.
I think you said you have an LTE motor, which is somewhat different than the mechanical LT.
As to the 1794 model...the GC I work for showed up in one yesterday. Damn that's a nice truck. He's run fleets of trucks for parks crews and bush work, says Toyota is the way to go in his experience.
The only thing I like as much as trucks, is guns.
