Maybe, but I've seen samuri's tackle stuff like that without breaking a sweat.

Post by: TPIguy on September 17, 2003, 07:00:53 PM: I love early broncos! I'd like to get one but the price is inflated for any that aren't 90% rust.

Right now I wheel this

It could use better tires and a locker, but it gets me just about anywhere around here.

Post by: Ripsnort on September 17, 2003, 07:31:57 PM: The problem here is very simple. A GM is NOT a Ford F250. Don't try this at home folks without at *least* a Ford.:D

Post by: Tarmac on September 17, 2003, 08:20:26 PM: Right around 7,000 pounds, I believe. A bit more for the wagon, a bit less for the pickup.

On the one hand, this statement is rather offensive...

On the other, take a good look at Ford... Seems that outside of SUVs and Mustangs, everything they have looks like a Nissan or a Toyota.

Hell half the Fords are thinly disguised Mazdas.
GM makes trucks with Honda engines.
Chrysler is a Daimler Benz puppet.
Put a fork in the Big Three, they are done.

Post by: Mini D on September 18, 2003, 12:37:29 AM: I thought GM used Isuzu engines (Diesels) in their trucks. Did honda design the 5.2 liters?

And... what did you expect out of the H2? Gimme a stripped down government surplus humvee any day.

Post by: SOB on September 18, 2003, 01:17:17 AM: My 96 S10 had an Isuzu 4-banger in it. Isuzu also has the same body on their Hombré pickup.

Diesel engine is a joint venture between GM and Isuzu. The 5.2L is a chrysler engine, 318 block. Then GM V8 that you're thinking of is a 5.3, roughly equivalent to a 327 block. The Tracker still has the Isuzu made 2.0L 4cyl and the 2.5L 6cyl.

Funked, the only SUV I can think of that might have a Honda V6 would be Saturns' little entry. I don't really know anything about it though.
