About two years ago I sold my Eaton Swapped SB and have been kicking myself ever since. I almost immediately starting looking for another one. I wanted to find one that needed a motor so I could build one they way I wanted with few compromises.
In September of last year I bought this one with about 190K on it. My plan was to drive it while I built a motor. It leaked a lot of oil and made some nasty cold start rattle but I didn’t care too much. I drove it daily for about 2000 miles. It drives great. Suspension is tight and the trans shifts good. Still has the air rear suspension that works good.
One morning after starting it the rattle lasted longer than normal and it died. I think one of the timing chains jumped a couple of teeth because when it cranks over now it sounds like it has a couple of dead holes. When it does start it runs very rough and doesn't sound good. It runs good enough to drive on a trailer but that's about it.
That was in October. It's now April and I haven't touched it. A recent change at work has taken a lot of my free time so I need to move on.
I have a 04 Aviator motor with about 80K if someone is interested
