Gah, i just want to cry! My mighty... aint so mighty. I knew i was running low on oil, but not this low! While mashin on to an on ramp... i went from *tick tick tick* to *Clunk clunk* and no power. Long story short; i think i threw a rod. Im clueless as to what im going to do. I love the truck, but dont know if i'll keep it and still work twords my SAS, or just trash that project and start anew somewhere. Its just a shame! 94, 99k miles. And only 20k put on by me! Im taking her to the shop tomorrow to asess the damages... hopefully its a cat in the fan and not a thrown rod.

Why not? I bought my truck for $200. Was only back taxed two months, hole in gas tank, leaking brake master cyl. Just added coolant, topped off brake master, filled air in tires and drove it arround till I found a donor car for swap em.

Dont have the time, or money to be playing with two broken trucks. A) Deff was rusted a lot, B) Who knows if it ran, C) Prolly would have rather had some beer or something and im not 21 :/

Otherwise i would have picked it up. But im trying to get this jeep real cheap if the fool would let me come look at it.
