rescue me
put new timing chain in, works/worked great.
got 131 miles on it today. 60 of that was HARDCORE 4x4 dirt/rocks.
emergency kit i didn't need-bike, 2 spare tires, jack stand, oil, water, tranny fluid, bow saw, shovel, axe, and more.
first time for any real offroading for me.
some of the better terrain i drove through today near the Plumas county line between hwy70 and oro-quincy
drove around the tree in SUPER soft soil. love the 4x4 even when its not 100%. forgot the chainsaw and didn't want to work hard.
had to put it in low range to get out of the hills at the end of the day. shoulda known something was wrong when i had to use low range and the autotranny was dripping out the bellhousing cover...
got mostly home-thank God-He got me out of the mountains...
NASTY noises all day, oil smoke out tailpipe, was just past Durham and oil pressure went to 60 pounds-never been over 25... then temp dropped below 150... and it was no more. DOA.
this is oil and water mixed together that BLEW out of the 2 breather vents.
smoke from said mixture landing on hot exhaust.
camper to the rescue! love the fact that its 7,000# and towing the 4,000# 4x4 plus the ?2,000?# trailer and i don't even know I'm working hard!

Gee Mark! You are adventureous.

Well, I guess there was more wrong with it than you thought. Glad you made it home. Was it the head gasket? It'll be interesting to know what happened this time. You're only supposed to torque those head bolts twice before replacing them.
Despite the breakage - 4-wheeling's fun, isn't it?
