I had a 1988 5sd, 4cyl. I beat on it for 75Kmi. Sold it because I'd
abused it so much, I figured it's life was about up.
You see, I used it to tow my 3,500# camper all over the place. When
Towing I NEVER got it into 5th. Spend lots of time in 3rd at 50 mph.
I seem to remember that buzzed it to about 4,000rpm.
A very stout & rugged vehicle that one.
I did use Mobile1, I'd been told that in such severe duty the ring
lands would run hot enough to break down dino oil.
It also road very rough. Once while traversing a parking lot with 6"
of fresh snow I discovered a parking berm at about 25mph. I think the
Trooper came off the ground! My back hurt for a week. No damage
reported........
