Hey Folks,
I just purchased my first truck, an '88 mighty max spx macrocab. It's a 5sp 4wd with the g54B. The truck is fairly high mileage (212K), but I think it has spent a good portion of its life in Alaska (no salt on the roads?) so it seems fairly well preserved. I look forward to whipping it into shape, and having a rock solid DD. Thus far I have gone through the usual maintenance, replaced a cv axle so my 4wd would work well. I just rebuilt the carb with all new gaskets, found that the secondary vacuum actuator was no good, and was actually able to fix it. Truck is running well, but has a bit of a sputter under hard acceleration sometimes. I'm going to look into the ignition timing next I think.
About me:
Born and raised in NH. Very much a DIY type of person, I have experience with many types of fabrication and diagnostics. I went to school for mechanical engineering, but am certainly not a desk engineer by any means. My true passion is working on motorcycles, but this truck is starting to show me how much fun larger vehicles can be!
I'm looking forward to being a member of this forum, and contributing in any way that I can.
Best,
Zach
