ITS ALIVE, i resurrected the D-50, need to get a set of lifters though, alot of ticking around the back end of the engine, the LSD is as cool as i thought it was, just give it a little gas, pop it in drive and two tracks are left and you get sideways quick. The stock carb is throwing some fits, real rough idle (May also be the plug wires) I unhooked a vaccum line and it leaned it out a little and it got alot better get up and go, but I definatly want to get a Weber for it. The oil pump has pretty good pressure, just cranking it it will start to read pressure. How have you 2.6 guys avoided having to replace the oil pan gasket, i used some of that RTV black silicone, Haynes says use a new gasket and cut it the same as the damaged gasket and chilton says to drop the oil pan, really hard on a 4wd. Wholy crap do the 31/10.5/15's rub like a mother, oh well this is going to be my road truck anyway so the 225/75 are going back on it. It rides 10x better than my toyota, nice and smooth ride, no shaking around at all. And my camper fits in the back and the load is distributed alot better than in the shortbox toyota.
