    I know this thing is a well geared puller and keeps the revs down on the scoot. Love it. Like I said, a time capsule I get to use. Still stunned.

    About six and a bit. The rad is smaller than the oem. Once I replaced the return lines it really responded well. Smooth now but I've got to find spare lines and order up some rebuilt Injectors while I still can. Time to start Sourcing and hoarding parts.

    I love this thing. It's small but very big. No need for a radio when you've got this engine to listen to. Sounds very good on the 5w40 synth.

    Had a friend say it feels like a big rig and makes a racket. I just smiled quietly.

    Thanks for this. Up here on the barren, frozen wastelands a big 5 speed likely behaves like a whirling box of loose nails in winter, unless one cheats a bit.

    It's a ZF. Unsure of transfer case and it's a 3.55 limited slip diff. C9 code on the sticker. Dana fore and aft methinks.

    And the best thing so far is none, repeat none of the seals are leaking, anywhere. The rocker covers leak, and I expect the synthetic will cause more over time, but it's amazing the axle/gearbox/transfer case seals are still pliant. Even the brakes don't leak. Brake fluid was swapped out day one.

    This is what went in. It's day-glow orange, 70/30:

    Great info guys cheers. I've been considering the hy-gard and have a pail of it on hand, also NH 134D, but am leaning towards the Hy-gard. Had plenty of good fortune using it in myriad tractors over the years. But we do frequently dip below -40 in these parts... I shall review these fluids most...

    She's already dancing up a storm old son! Purring like a kitten and just a little fresh gearbox and diff oil away from hitting the highway. Not gonna wash it yet. I'm enjoying the whole big ugly truck thing right now.

    If you look closely you can see pools of diesel from the formerly badly leaking return lines.

    Here we go. A pic of it in its field of grass. Sank darned near up to the axles.
