Hi everyone! We are currently on a road trip from coast to coast with an 80 j10 sportside with 401. Just as we were driving, the jeep stalled and lost power. Engine had run hot but never over 210 so we stopped. Basically the manual transmission (nv4500) is on its end. We need to get to los angeles before next week so we got a long drive to go!
I don't know what to do. Car is parked safely but i can't drive it to los angeles in this condition! 3 options:
- find a tranny and do a quick swap. I have no idea where to start?
- dolly or trail it behind my buddies scrambler but uhaul won't allow me to do this because the scrambler doesn't have a hard top nor is it heavy enough to transport the j10!
- sell the j10 very fast. Expect for the tranny, its a great vehicle. 401 just rebuilt, dana 44 front rear, mallory distrib, new windshield, 2 inch lift, sportside, no rust, brand new winch, tom woods shafts... And the list goes on... Needs a paintjob and a new tranny and it can be Wooow...
If anyone is around, interested or can help... I'd really really appreciate it... But it needs to go quick as we need to move on... With, or without the jtruck... Snif snif.
Thanks for your help
