I know this is a for sale posting in a regional website but can you spot the major flaw in this diesel setup?? If this flaw has been used for awhile it means an early end to this engine.
Kinda shoots down the whole deal.
Anyway this is a good lesson in diesel basics and can help you avoid big problems if this was overlooked and you bought the rig. But alas a diesel Rubicon would be nice!

GOOD CALL



Those darn stickers---


(no - although they do look a bit annoying )
The K+N Filter
No telling how long that filter setup has been used and that is not good! Those filters are great for breathing but bad for long term minute particle filtering.

All well -- I will keep looking --
