Thats how its done these days. Wait until the light is shit. Then stand at a stupid angle either to close or to far away to actually see anything. An take your pics. Bonus points if you take more pics of the radio than you do the rest of the truck.:homer:

I'd love to know why a 22RE needed a rebuild with less than 150k on it.

An engine with a lot of cold starts and the original timing set. The driver side nylon timing chain guide likely snapped off, causing the chain to eat through the backside of the timing cover behind the water pump. This would put the water in the engine, overheating it, and blowing it if the driver didn't pay attention.

Pretty bomb proof most the time. Side effect of making 15 horsepower.

No. It really isn't. Pretty much every truck i have seen with one is on its x whatever replacement engine. My favorite was the one on its third in 200k. People think they were ok because they outlived the rust that killed the turds they were in and because like so many things with that rep they built millions of them.

All of this. And much more.
 
The 22RE is one of the words 80s 4-bangers when it comes to reliability. Pretty much anything else is better.

The 22re is just fine. It went through more head gaskets than the 3.0, and the timing chain guides suck.

But the number of 4-cyl engines you’re ignoring is asinine

Pull your head out of your ass. The 22RE is exceptionally shitty for its era.

Pretty much every Japanese 4banger of the 80s except the 22RE is solid.

GM has the Iron Duke and Ford has the 2.3. Chrysler has whatever they were buying from Mitsu and AMC has their I6 based 4banger. All of those are solid engines.

I'll be the first to admit I'm not well versed in Europe stuff but Volvo was building respectable things around that time.

Pretty much nobody except Toyota was shipping engines with "shit fails under 100k and you waste the bottom end" failure modes to them in the 80s yet shitbag fanboys show up trying to defend that garbage because shitbag fanboy reasons.

No rust issues around here so you dont see that as an issue. Plently of 250k+ rigs for sale that says they did allright. Nothing spectacular, but they generally kept on keepin on.

You're closed minded because you're unwilling to understand the deficiencies of the shit you like.

Holy fk you are stupid.

I admitted deficiencies of the 22re.

I’ve also owned dozens of them… something you have zero experience with. By any rational definition, you’d be the closed minded one. Typical lib….
 
Dude, you own just about the worst 4-banger of the 80s. Doing it dozens of times doesn't give you street cred. It just makes you a fucking retard with Stockholm syndrome. :laughing:

It's a real shame that the ancestors of people like you didn't live in the right places 100yr ago or they'd have been purged as undesirable.
