2.8, plus some ear plugs :lol:

And if it gets cold where you are, some thick socks and thermal gloves, the heaters aren't the fastest in the world

Stock thermostat opens at 82 degrees, but I always replace it with an 85 degree one (Quinton Hazell QTH411K)

Upload pictures to a third party site (PhotoBucket is quite popular), then post the links on the forum.
It saves on our bandwidth costs.

Different pumps due to completely different engines. 2.5 is some crummy Italian monstrosity. The 2.8 is an old school tried and tested Isuzu lump.

Things to look out for is everything other than the engine. :lol:
