Hello all, so in October I purchased a 966 or atleast it's titled that way here in ohio.
22000 miles on it. Titled as 1988, but engine states 1990 gm, and the plate says in service/delivered via sometime in 94.
It wasn't running well when I purchased and had to drop quite a bit to get it to a good point where I'm pretty comfortable knowing that I've replaced key parts and it's not going to be something that is just problems. Been there, and it's no fun.
Anyway, I've put on all new 37 inch tires from cs army supply in Alabama. LED HEADLIGHTS, LIGHT BAR KIT, NEW 60 AMP ALT. NEW POWER STEERING GEARBOX, NEW GLOW PLUGS, REPLACED RUBBER FUEL LINES, NEW POWER STEERING AND ALTERNATOR BELTS, REPLACED DIFFERENTIAL SEALS IN FRONT AND BACK, BRAKE PADS ARE LOOKING ABOUT 75%. RHINO LINED EXTERIOR, GROUNDING HARNESS, NEW AIR FILTER, 3 OIL CHANGES JUST TO GET THE GOOD STUFF THROUGHOUT SYSTEM, MULTIPLE FLUSHES TO GET RID OF DISCOLORATION DUE TO CORROSSION. INJECTORS ARE GOOD AND TESTED.NEW SEALS APPLIED.
STARTS RIGHT UP. VERY LITTLE SMOKE AND CLEARS AFTER A MINUTE OR SO ON VERY COLD START.
FUEL PUMP IS GOOD. INJECTOR PUMP IS GOOD. PCB IS GOOD. AND LIGHTS ARE FUNCTIONAL. HEATER WORKS, AND DOES MAINTAIN A TEMP OF 180 IDLING WITH OIL PRESSURE AT 30 TO 40. 40 WHILE DRIVING. AND I THINK IVE HEARD FAN COME ON MAYBE 3 OR 4 TIMES OVER THE COURSE OF TIME SINCE PURCHASE. It comes with a street legal on road title for ohio.
IM ONLY ASKING BECAUSE I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE OTHER OWNERS OPINIONS.
