Outer Limits 4x4 Board

If you can get a hold of a suzuki GV or XL7 V6 (2.5, 2.7) even better. Its all alloy and is out of a 4wd (sump clearance and is designed to get wet and dirty) and best of all it's still a zook.

Nah Sorry, it was a Jap import motor, no car.

im just gonna track down an axle from the wreckers and keep saving for bundera diffs

Isn't Bundera rear the wrong offset for a Vit? or are you running a sierra T/case?

Are you running a Microtech? or standard ECM?
Had a similar problem with mine, had to send Microtech my dizzy and ECM to them to reconfig.

Do it happen on the GWH?
coz i seen one just like that there a week ago.

Should have had bigger tires on it and then drive over the bastard!
Monster truck style.
