Just wondering how reliable are the 2.8 turbo diesel engines
Got a mate who wants 2 buy one which has 88k on it.
I have heard about one engine doing it's crankshaft at 80k. Is this a common problem What should he look for when hes checking the rodeo out
Thanx

in the 8 years i worked for a holden dealer
i only ever saw 1 turbo diesel pulled out
of a rodeo. that was that long ago i can't
remember what was wrong with it.
i think there a great engine. with a bigger
exhaust and an intercooler of a jackaroo
there even better.
