I wouldn't change a thing...I've seen that truck in person it's built!

 

[06 H3]

Specs are plenty available....it's online and in multiple magazines

Motor has almost 300k on it. Maybe the only thing id change

 

[Mb30sdl]

It needs my touch of cosmetic flare.

Jesus Serge! WTH is next? :giggle:

 

[Fish]

Was this you I passed on the freeway the other day

 

[RamRod]

Man that's one cool truck!!

 

[SickStringC]

Holy crap Serge! Are you bringing them all to Moab in April!!?!??!??? (hoping ... )

 

[Mb30sdl]

Washing it today, need to do full maintanance first.

 

[SickStringC]

Awesome.

 

[Pappibri]

Very sweet looking truck there Serge.... Cant wait to see your finishing touches on it... You have a nice lil collection going on there my man....... A wee bit of envy but in a good way...

Pics and reality is a little different. Right now I am dealing with smog test. Truck is a straight pipe, no cats, no evap system. So I have to do a complete custom exhaust. CARB headers (couple of manifold studs are broken), high flow cats, stainless steel piping. The biggest issue is on OEM truck exhaust is running on passenger side, after drivetrain mods it on driver side. I keep wondering how they passed smog inspections in the past.

After smog I'll deal with body panels and fittings.

 

[06 H3]

He probably has hookups on smog

 

[Mb30sdl]

So did some maintenance on the truck.
Compression:

FRONT
150 195
150 168
165 165
172 165

I guess not bad for 258,+ on the motor.

Yha those are the numbers I usually get. I think your good.

Exhaust will be done Thursday/friday, will see afterwards. Some of "red flags" will go away, but I may need to deal with EVAP system. And I asked to move exhaust to pass side, driver has fuel pump right next to muffler.

And JBL headers are here(CARB legal)!!!

 

[Mb30sdl]

So while transmission(slipping 3-4 shift) and TC(gaskets are leaking) is out getting sealed and rebuild, I decided to fix axels(front seals were leaking). Also putting ARB air lockers in. Stuff that is in existing axles is a POS Indian crap and Detroit lockers which after driving i don't like at all. So getting all new seals, u-joints, ARB lockers.

 

[Mb30sdl]

Well it looks like my time to own this awsome truck is coming to the end. If deal goes through I will be giving it to its "new" owner by end of next week.

 

[3Hummers]

I did not like the Detroit's either. Why are you selling?

 

[Mb30sdl]

One word - upgrade, to meet my new needs. But I have a feiling Chris will post before I have a chance. One pic will tell a thousand words.

 

[Zach]

Just give it up already

 

[3Hummers]

Agree. I suck at patiently waiting.

 

[Mb30sdl]

U all have to wait till wednsday, and Anthony is not allowed to talk.
