Poos keeps saying to avoid the pre 96 140 because they had too many problems. I say poos is wrong. The main 2 problems are engine wiring harness and evaporator. Both of which has most likely already been replaced. The post facelift models have the 5 speed electronic transmission and a better

Talk to them. There are generally yard rats who will help move the crane over and help you load the engine. I think the yard will haul it out on a pickup truck for you. No way you can get it out on a wheelbarrow. Hiring a yard rat for a few bucks would be a good investment. I was at
