    Probably wrong forum but I thought it would be a nice Tidbit.

    Had this old truck for a long time, Finally killed it this last july. After using it for multiple vehicle recoveries in mud, snow and ice. It had dropped dead pulling into my shop one morning. So I just parked it, Dug out my 400$ 99 GP SE that I had made a post about restoring and titled it.


    I left it sitting till now. A little more history on it, I bought it with 160K Miles on it. It had previous head gasket work, I drove it for about 15K miles before I got a nasty rod knock. Caught it soon enough and threw some new rod bearings into it. A weekend and a case of beer later it was back on the road.

    Now at 229K She dropped dead, No compression/Low compression across the board.

    A older guy I know has a mutual busniness with Chryslers and is Letting me have the motor out of a 97 CHrysler Voyager, Only 55K miles on it. Freebies are awesome! Rest I will need to get is a Montero Oil pump to put the filter on the front of the block instead of the side and swap over my oil pan/Lower and upper intakes/fuel rails.

    So Heres the damage.
