Brief history, I bought the truck less than a year ago to drive back and forth from work which is a 70 mile round trip. The plan was to drop it, mod it, enjoy it. Just about the time the tranny was to be addressed I had a Jetta TDI drop in my lap. 40+MPG beats out 20+MPG any day of the week, so now the 94 is for sale.
94 regular cab 2wd, 12V with auto tranny, all power interior and matching snug top. The only mods done so far are lockup and OD switches installed. 277,xxx on the odometer. Since I bought the truck it has had the following done to it by me.
New shocks all corners, NAPA branded Monroe Reflex shocks.
New brakes all corners except for left rear, the axle seal is weeping and I did not want to put new shoes on with oil present. Do not have the axle nut socket at present. New springs etc installed at same time as new shoe on RH side. The shoes on the left show no wear, as did the ones on the right.
New Cummins thermostat and cooling system drain and refill.
Replaced RH lower control arm and ball joint, jacked up same to perform brake service and the ball joint popped out so both were replaced. Ball joint was new MOOG, control arm was from local junkyard off of a newer year truck.
New Anco wipers, forgot the particular style, but they are $20 per wiper.
Replaced all rocker cover gaskets to eliminate oil leaks at same. fixed oil leak on power steering pump from some idiot leaving a plug out. Truck has no oil leaks on motor.
All new U-joints.
Serviced rear axle with new oil, it is NOT a limited slip unit, does have 3.55 gears. Gears looked good, makes no noise or vibration driving.
Front end aligned by local shop.
Pretty sure I have left something out, but that is the high points. The tranny shifts just fine and from the look of the fluid has either been freshly serviced or rebuilt before I got the truck. Tires are fair, rears match, fronts do not. The body has some rough spots, I tried my best to show them with the pics. Interior is about the same, several cig burns on the door panels, stains etc. It's a 15 year old work truck, do not expect perfection. One crack in the dash dead center, front to back.
All in all the truck is in great shape, I made several road trips in it and averaged 21-23MPG running 75+. The radio is not original, speakers are.
PICS HERE!!!
PM or e-mail with any questions, delivery is available for costs, the pics show it on a trailer since that was the easiest way to get it back from the detail shop. Asking $5000, trades will be considered, best be something really neat, or really easy to sell!
