You hunt for a very long time.....all the gray market trucks pop up in different places and sadly there isn't just one source for ads. Also don't cancel out the gasoline models either. (The diesels are rare even by Gwagen standards)

http://www.gwagen.com/search.php

(Autotrader, ebay, cragislist) You have to be vigilant and check from time to time. There are a few other forums where you might find some postings (Expedition portal, pointed three)

I found mine on Ebay, but they do turn up on the sites mentioned, even this one from time to time.

The wiring looked like this all over:


Those two thick black wires were spliced into the main ground wire and connected to a security switch under the dash. Only he didn't use ring terminals to connect the 2 gauge wire to the studs on the switch. He splayed the wire out flat and smooshed it under the nut on the stud.

I'll take an outdoor pic once it moves again, but here it is with the wheels visible:


Another quality repair, the fan clutch:

This made me remove the water pump before I removed the engine because the fan would not come off any other way.

Yikes that is some pretty messy wiring! Always liked those wheels, strong and functional as they should be.


Please do keep us updated on your progress
