I have NO vibrations at all in my Izuzu! I have an 8X8X14' box and a 27' X 8.5' X 7' tall snowmobile trailer and I have No problem pullin 6 sleds gear and people 75 mph on the hyway! And can get 10-11mpg doin it! I would think that motor in a small airodynamic p/u could get 20-25 all day long!

Just saw it in your signature. I have an Izuzu cab over with the 3.9. Orriganaly I had 3 of them and had plans on putting one with the 5 sp into a 86 Nissan KC! Still wonder why know one does a small turbo diesel in a small/midsize truck! I might try to find a Colorado and still do it?

I believe I'm giving up on finding a VW Truck. I may either try to MAKE one out of my Golf, by cutting it in half and putting a small Allum utility box on the back!
Or find a small utility truck thats 4 wheel drive and swap my motor and trans into it!

I went and looked at a pair yesterday. Kinda rough and wanted like $1200?

I already have a built turbo diesel, I'm looking for a new home for it!

I saw that too! Hey Surfcam, What are the differences between the Cummins 4BT1 3.9 and the Izuzu 4BD1 3.9 ?

If anyone would possibly have any links? That would be great!

Im in North Central Illinois, but I don't care where the Pick up is? The only 2 in the United States were in New Mexico and Arizona! They wanted $7500 and $10,000!
I personally have had No Luck trying to find ANYTHING on Craigs List!

Im looking for a decent Pick up, running or perferable not! Don't want rust! Would like a toper!

So what about the head gasket upgrade? The TDI head gasket?

Yep just found that out by Jack.

Thats what I was told! He made some kinda insert? It was done by the guy here for parts?

Well not sure on anything! Timing and belt is all correct! I just pulled the motor back out and the pump off too! I'm haveing the pump looked at? I though I had an oil leak out the back of the head, but now looks like it was comeing from the valve cover? I do have a mech head but it might be the std...

Well just getting back to this project! I put a Non Turbo pump on my Eco block, as well as a new Garret muc larger turbo! I did get a Mech head and it is suposed to bolt right up, and it seens to have without issue? And larger injectors! I set the pump timing at .040 and all else looks good? But no ...

So pull the key out, hook up battery and unlock passanger door?
