First off I just wanna say hello and thank you for having a forum for the Power Wagons I look forward to learning and having a good time while here.
Now for the Truck intro. Well I am a NEWBIE when it comes to power wagons. I have done a BUNCH of searching the last 4 months since I found this PW and still have tons of questions. I don't have the vin written down at the moment but I do have pics if that will help. The things that have me a little confused are the 8 bolt hubs, I don't think those are stock well maybe an upgrade option, the side mirrors look to be installed at purchase so again maybe option from the dealer ? It is an LA360 I believe but don't know about the white 590 sticker on the valve cover, it is an automatic with the Tac-loc on the floor with maybe 5 options lol never seen a transfer shifter with so many positions lol I'm used to seeing 4-Hi-Lo N 2-Hi. So more information about that would be good.
The history behind this truck is that my lucky brother in-law lives up in northern Arizona and comes across RARE and awesome finds of vehicles at least 2-4 times a year lol. He told me about this truck that he got it from the original owner ! ! Don't wanna talk about what he paid for it but it was a STEAL ! ! Anyways fast forward about 3 months and he isn't able to take care of it or work on it as much as he wants. It was running but then the starter died and I helped him replace that over thanks giving (Dang that is a BIG starter) So that helped but I'm not sure what's up with it next. He said it was running a few months ago and he added like 2-3 fuel filters along the way from the gas tank and now it does hold fuel pressure so it will idle and maybe run then sputter and die. . . . ALL that aside if I had more time with it and it was at my house I could diagnose it better but end game here is that I am going to be getting it from him soon Buying of course not a freebie
Anyways on to the TRUCK **** Hope you can give me a heads up of what it possible has from looks.
Sorry for writing a book but it's my first post and wanted to introduce myself and the Big Blue hehehe
OH ! ! And it has 35k MILES ON IT ! ! ! Woo Hoo ! !
