According to your replies the XM211 I'm considering buying won't be doing=
much fast lane driving as 50 mph seems likely only downhill grades with a=
strong tail wind. =
I think that the XM211 was also made with a diesel engine. Is that truc=
k
any faster/get better mpg than the gas version? Was the XM211 gas versi=
on
equipped with the 270 GMC engine?
Does anyone know if a swap in of a 350 Chevy is a reasonable task? The
advance adapters catalog I have doesn't list a 270 GMC engine to 350 Chev=
y
adapter plate. The 350 Chevy can be built to rev a lot higher than a 270=
GMC and it would obviously have a lot more power.
Finally, I can probably buy this truck for $500-800. It needs 5 new tire=
s
and is not presently running. The batteries are out of it. It does have=
the REBCO trans kits which I am told is a plus. It also has a 1-2000
gallon seal coat tank on the back I have to get off and dispose of
(hazardous waste?) Should I keep looking for a different truck or does
this truck sound reasonably priced. I have no problem working on engine=
s
myself. The truck has 27,000 miles on it.
Thanks,
Dave
