I'm the dummy from Alabama who woke you up.. I am sry for that but you did help me find the problem and it was a freeze plug that had popped out thank you and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge

[@Zuksoffroad]

Glad I could help

[@tomt1742]

You have so much knowledge, please don't stop sharing

[@redtint0p]

My current Sammi had a bad water leak into the oil. One of the head freeze plugs had come out. This is the first time I have even seen someone else know that was a possibility.

[@Zuksoffroad]

We have done many engine swaps. I don’t think we have run into a new issue for a long time .

[@Zuksoffroad]

Thanks 👍

[@WanderingDad]

Those engines are very tough, I once drove for 2 days with the head gasket upside down before catastrophic meltdown. Once.

Why you don’t do 1600 8V engines?

[@Zuksoffroad]

Can not get enough blocks heads cranks to keep up with demand.

[@jamescraig5526]

What would cause a major backfire on a 1.3 when it's turned off?

[@Zuksoffroad]

Totally lean. Or timing is bad. My cell is on the website homepage text me a video and describe or send pic of your carb/efi etc.

[@user-qq5us2op7i]

Hey did you say u made a video on how to put a front locker in a tracker without it breaking? Iv looked everywhere cant find nothing but to put a straight laxle in.. i need some help

[@Zuksoffroad]

Go to website I make four pin tracker sidekick carriers

[@user-qq5us2op7i]

Ok I found it now! So that carrier will bolt right up to my stock 92 tracker if the spline count is right ??

[@Zuksoffroad]

@@user-qq5us2op7i you have 22 spline side gears in your carrier. I highly recommend sending us the third member so we can eliminate the weak trouble prone crush collar. That way there is no core charge at all. You won’t be able to drive the car as the front driveshaft removal will dump all t-case fluid out. Plus it would be a hassle as you will find out to remove both front axles to get the carrier out also requires engine lift up or you can also drop the entire front housing out.

[@user-qq5us2op7i]

So I could send u the 3rd member and what about the aluminum housing or is it cast iron? From what I been told is the bracket breaks as you know. I can't get under the tracker to see. I'm a paraplegic from chest down so I just have my buddy's work on it.

[@user-qq5us2op7i]

Or is the bracket on the 3rd member?

[@LawlessOffroadAdventures]

So, what I'm getting out of this is that I should turbo my 1.6 8v efi? Yup, I completely agree

[@Zuksoffroad]

H beam rods and mega squirt and it will work every day.
