Title: new/used motor in tracker
Post by: Crazymays77 on August 13, 2008, 06:03:18 PM
well I bought a motor a couple weeks ago for the tracker. i have messed with it for two weeks trying to get it to run. no luck. so I started to search for another one. I found one locally for $400 and it runs. so I'm getting it friday and going to try to get it in before this sunday. I really want to get it running so i can see what those t-case gears will do. I really didnt get to try them out the last time I was at the mounds. The motor was already knocking so i had to be easy on it until the day was over. but from what I can tell I really think I'm going to like them. so wish me luck that I get the motor in and that it starts for me before sunday. I heard it run so I dont see why it wont run when i try to start it up.

yeah. now I'm wanting to buy another tracker and put a v6 in it and 4 wheel steering. but I just want this one running so i can play. I would do it to this one but I spent 700 on the gears for the t case so I can turn the super swampers i have on it.

No don't scrap it, little rigs like our's are more capable than some people realize. Plus gas mileage is great. And by the way I have a tracker engine in my sami.

yeah you have the 8 valve done you? I'm running the 16 valve. I think i'm gonna rebuild the motor in the garage and run the motor i'm getting. when that one goes I'll put the rebuilt in it and run that one until it goes then I'm thinking I might swap to the 8 valve or just do the v6 to this one.

Well I called them this morning and they are going to find me another motor. They didnt even ask to hear it run but that wasnt a problem if they wanted to hear it I could have fired it up while I was talking to them on the phone.
