Yeah, the 250s were freakin' 855 cubes, and still made almost no power. I'm not sure why, guess they were built for reliability and torque, not power?

I love my M39 series (M54A2) 5 ton... except the engine, which is an unreliable pile of shit as far as I'm concerned. And the top speed leaves a lot to be desired.

Fortunately I have bought half the parts I need to remedy these shortcomings, and have the other half lined up... if I ever have the money to get them.

The 6CTA8.3 is pretty gutless for its displacement in stock form but yeah, I hear they can be tuned pretty nicely. Even a B series 5.9 can make stupid power reasonably reliably from what I've been told, so I figure another Cummins I6 diesel with more displacement should scale up appropriately unless they really screwed the pooch.

What exactly were they thinking running motor oil in the trans? Don't those big Allisons still need friction modifier since they use friction clutches like any other auto? Seems incredibly stupid, like trying to use motor oil in diffs because it means you only have to keep motor oil in stock.
 
LOL. I'm from there. I won't argue. Mexi food rocks, though.

Lol, that's why your a dick/ jk
Seems like immigrants that came to work on the farms from what I gather? Or are they indians who claim to be Mexicans.

I went to school in Alamosa which reminds me allot of Greeley btw. I'd hang out there just to see what trouble found me
 
No lots of farm workers - I was a minority (white guy) at Greeley Central in the fall, but not in the spring, lots of migrants, but you're also right, they were cooler than the long time locals.
 
Good catch. Thought it was an odd color..

Troy's favorite, gheywinkle! :D

Aesthetics aside, if there is no cross contamination between the cooling system and the crankcase, and it runs quiet, it might be a good starting point.
 
Why do I want this? Think it would do well in rush hour traffic?

Seems like a good deal for a '98 that is already lifted, with good tires and front winch bumper.

Minus the torn drivers seat, and crummy paint on the rear bumper, it looks solid. What am I missing?

Doesn't look too bad at all for the price. There are holes on the front fenders, likely from a set of Bushwackers or similar. I hate the whole 'remove the rear flares but don't trim' thing, but that's me. If I were looking I'd give it a really solid look around, but good potential.
 
I wouldn't pay more than a third of the asking price if it is mechanically sound and a hell of a lot less if there are drivetrain issues.
 
WTH is this? A Jeep thong? Ewww.
