I'd surely love to have one of those. The turbo version is rated at something like 101hp, the na was of course less so they're obviously not speed deamons but if you're looking for speed in a Scout you need your head examined...

Put it in neutral and it dropped to zero (go rear pump!). Coasted to the side of the road, tried to restart it, and it fired up on the first crank. Nothing appeared to be abnormal under the hood, and it ran just fine afterwards. My only guess is that the fuel had gelled, and I just got a glob of gelled fuel. I haven't filled up since Rita hit (close to a month?), and the temp this morning was 38F. After class is out I'll hit the diesel pump and get some diesel fuel that hopefully has the winter blend in it, and I'll never see the problem again. Does this sound reasonable? Torque converter is doing some funny things as well (time for a fluid change also) could this have any kind of connection? Thanks for the help! John '79 300SD
