What are you doing/did you do today?

Hauled my 10ft tent trailer to my parents place with my B2200, first time pulling with the engine swap, pulled the 2000lb trailer like a champ, 4th gear at 3500RPM all the way at 70MPH. Even went up a steep hill in 3rd at WOT and gained speed (60-65MPH), where on the original motor, I lost speed (60-55MPH) in 4th WOT unloaded with no trailer on the same hill. I even got some wheel spin on a corner turning onto the main road while towing.

I also weighed my truck unloaded on the way home at one of the highway truck weigh scales, front weighs 730KG (1600lbs), rear weighs 600KG (1320lbs), for a combined weight of 1330KG (2920lbs), and that is with 3/4 of a tank of fuel.

Busy day. And its still not over...

Hurry up and get that disassembled and post a for sale thread....I need parts!

What do you need? Its slow going with one hand...

Ahhh I forgot about your surgery. Well I'm in need of a passenger fender but if you have 4x4's I'll take both if you want to get rid of them. And if it came with Ranger lights or clear corners I'll gladly take them too! There's a lot more but we can start with that.

You need 2wd fenders? No extra ranger lights unless you want the older, smaller ones. And no clear corners.

Merry Christmas everybody!

What all do you need homie?

I just got all of the part to pull the front cover off of my 13B, however, I now found out that I dont thinks its needed. On my motor, the oil pressure seemed lower than it should be at idle when it was in the original car, when I installed it in my truck, I used an aftermarket oil pressure gauge, and it still read low at idle. I decided to hook up a mechanical oil pressure gauge and now the specs are above minimum. 15PSI oil pressure at 800RPM, and 220f oil temps, and over 40PSI over 1500RPM (old gauge never really went above 30PSI when warm, and read about 0-5PSI at warm idle), and this is withe thinner weight oil for winter (10W40). So yay for me, too bad I ordered $150 in gaskets already lol.

Thats always good news.

Back at work today in the winter wonderland. I just want to tear into that bottle of vodka i got for Christmas...
