zack231's 4x4 CCSB, Project "Learning Experience"

[joe231]

I just picked up this beast.
It has a 6.2L diesel, 700R4, rear SF 14 bolt, front 8 lug 10 bolt, and I'm not sure on the T-case. The front floors are pretty solid, the rockers, wheel wells, and rear tail gate are super rusty.

I met a guy up here that bought a similar burb to use the rear diff and trans T-case. It has a nice gate and many other parts that I need, so hopefully i'll be getting some of that stuff in the near future. I'm also planning on running some 33-36" tires on it and upgrading the running gear as needed, i.e. after breakage

When I got it the glow plugs didn't work, the batteries were dead and the drag link was about to fall apart. I replaced the drag link, got the glow plugs working, and swapped batteries. Now it starts right up whether it is hot or cold. The boys and i took it out for some light wheeling and fishing yesterday, it did great!






it is still idling rough and some white/blue smoke at idle, but runs great off idle. I have been doing lots of 6.2L research since this is my first and have figured out a couple things to check out. I'm going to check my IP timing and the injectors(I'm hoping it isn't a compression problem). I'm about to head out and check them now.

Any of the 6.2 guys out there, feel free to give me your input.
