My God, that thing sounds great at idle. Odd request: can you get a video outside of it just idling? I love that diesel clatter.

Did you go with the earlier granny gear one or the newer version?

I went with the early version with the low 1st.
Thanks. I can't take any credit except for being in the right place with the right $.

Granny gear first is a good choice indeed. Have you decided on full synthetic and aux cooling for it, or?

Running the correct Castro syncromesh synthetic. I am not running any cooling on it now. I would like to run the smaller cooling heat exchangers on the pto ports in the future. I am curious and hopefully that this trans is in good shape. I bought it used, told it was good but only paid core price. I am fully prepared to pull it and have it rebuilt if it turns out undrivable.
Really nice, I love the outside the box thinking the engine builder used.
One thing I just have to say though is I liked the pics of the way you got the Burb the best.
Beautiful country where you are, no fire damage?

On the lift pump, is that the facet "duralift?"
Those are real popular in the ford idi world.

I could not stand those running boards.
The fire got stopped a little less than 2 miles from my house.

Not sure what facet pump it is. I pulled it off a 6.2l blazer that I purchased and froze the block the 1st night I had it.
