[Mattman]

Check out clubisuzu.com. not many good things said about the 3.0 motor from what I have read.

I agree with Mattman go to that site he suggested alot of good info on there and a great bunch of people on there too.

Yeah not to sure about the 3.0.

If I were you go for the 3.1 despite what everyone says about them, it is a good solid engine with lots of grunt and low down torque when you need it.

Cheers

the 4JX1 engines are prone to oil senders leaking and buggering the looms but they are avaiable new from holden for around 4 hundy bux. the injectors, if stuffed can be up to $2g for a set (if you can find some)

otherwise they ok i guess

[allmud]

wow ok thanks guys
can get it very cheep and wasent going to 4x4 it just for the wife to drive and to tow the boat

common fordesiel to get into the oil the injector seals fail i wouldnt touch one with a 10 foot pole. on a side note if its dirt cheap chuck 3.1 or my fav a 2.8 in. then you'll have a good solid donk to have fun
