Start looking in fields outside of automotive. Anything is better then nothing.

Yes the 9th is after my birthday. Sweet. When are we starting, 6?

**Big_Jim** · 01-03-2011, 10:56 AM

6-630-7? lol

420sx · 01-03-2011, 11:03 AM

So is it normal for a freshly rebuilt engine to knock upon start up for the first minute or three?

We fired up my dads Volvo recently (maiden voyage drifting in the snow ftw), but it knocked for like the first minute when letting off the throttle. I assumed it was normal and that it was just because oil had to reach all the places that were dry, right?

Meeshell · 01-03-2011, 11:06 AM

morning everyone! sitting in the waiting room for a doctors appointment. working would probably be better at this point. hope everyone has/had a good start for the new year!

My first bottom end engine rebuild... So Im paranoid as hell haha. Im gonna be dailying this brick for a little bit, so Im praying we did everything right!

I was pretty stoked that it fired right up though.

**Big_Jim** · 01-03-2011, 11:27 AM

2nd bronco that I looked at was in really good shape, but the front transfer case was on its way out.

Emailed and called a guy about another bronco i found, and havent heard anything back yet.

Love those trucks Jim.

I want to go look at a truck. 1997 Dodge Ram Club Cab with 163k miles and asking $4995. I know my dad wouldn't have any of that though since I already have 3 cars. Would be nice for towing my camaro. He has a truck that works and is 2wd but I know he can get bitchy when I use it for racing and he wants to use it for yard work.

I love them too man, theres something about a full size 2door suv. love the full size broncos, the old K5 blazers, and even the big 2 door tahoes.

I've heard some bad things about the trans in that gen of dodge ram.

Yes the 2 door Tahoe I love to death man.

And yeah I've heard some issues with them as well but I assume that doesn't pertain to every Ram I hope haha. Don't know if I'm going to push it too much but we will see.
