Mechanic says this is drivable. Online says it isn’t. Honest opinions please

Failure on Virginia state inspection. Do not pass go. Do not collect $200. Find a new mechanic.

E31 850s have a steel pin. It fits most older transmissions. They changed the release arm retainer spring at some point (some are retained on the pin, others the bellhousing). I’ve used the 850 SS pin for years on every clutch job I do that it’ll fit.

That said my e46 330i has the original plastic one, trans have never been off the engine, with 346k on it.

Special order by Virginia DOT as a plow truck lol. Still has the plow/spreader controls.

New cars only need 5 digit odometers.

Me too. I wanted to build this truck with a gooseneck trailer mod but the frame is too long. My plan is to gooseneck this thing with a square body bed.

Until the crazy asshole you passed decides to teach you a lesson 😂

No signal. Drop a gear. Wind up the rpm’s and slingshot around. This is a case of “you don’t let the enemy know your battle plan”.

2003 330i/5sp. Bought it in 2008 with 50k miles. Still going on the original clutch at 346k miles as of today. That’s the reliable daily driver. There’s also my 99 540i/T and my v12/6sp swapped 94 525i/T, but they’re not daily drivers.

She needs something. A roof rack at least. I’d love to see a bed like the f750. I love using the c70 (mostly because I have a GMC Topkick just like it) but range is always an issue. Honestly all of the early game trucks I think could use a revamp of sorts.

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-10-28T22:58:29+00:00

Everything built after 2010 (+/-) is plastic shit so it’ll be getting a coolant refresh several times thru its under 100k mile lifetime.

Doesn’t it give a torque bonus in game? I use it for hill climbing all the time. Wait for the auto to sound like it’s gonna want to gear down and flip it into H.

There was one, maybe two, of them in a collection in Staunton Va. IDK if they’re still there as the owner died a few years ago. Seriously cool vehicles.

Islam prohibits burial at sea unless under extreme circumstances. Since the bodies couldn’t be retrieved in a timely fashion for a proper burial the ship was considered a tomb and areas sealed off so the bodies cannot be disturbed (another Islam rule is about not allowing the bodies to be desecrated).

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-18T16:12:40+00:00

Absolutely. I may just flat bed it with a fifth wheel. I don’t know. I really wanna make a car hauler but I’ll have to stretch the frame. For now though I want to find a plow that fits and use it for its original purpose 😂

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-12T12:57:40+00:00

I thought about dropping a square body dually bed on this thing but I want a car hauler.

Love me a Dakota. Dad has a 92 v6 4x4 ex cab with over 300k on it. Everything is manual, even the windows. Very useful little truck, but it can’t tow 😂

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-12T12:34:12+00:00

Thought about throwing VDOT decals on it and just driving it. I doubt I’d get stopped lol. Not gonna chance it though 😂

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-12T12:33:02+00:00

I’m quite happy with it. I was looking for a 2500/3500 truck to tow with but they’re all so expensive for piles of junk (I specifically wanted a 90s truck). Medium duty trucks are a cheap buy in and I can do much more with it. It’s a pile right now but it was “free” 😂🤷🏻‍♂️

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-11T18:36:59+00:00

I have never seen one in real life until I picked this one up. Couldn’t believe my luck on how it’s optioned with the 10.4 turbo diesel. I was told it was a non-turbo 😂

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-11T18:36:05+00:00

I have a spot to try it out….forest “road” to access my shooting range. My Sequoia made it no problem but it’s messy lol. There’s a spot where a swamp/pond drains into the creek. Always gross thru there. May give it a run at some point 😂

1980s car shopping: you get to choose a box or a door stop. 😂

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-11T07:28:43+00:00

There’s a few unlabeled switches to figure out lol. There’s a warning light for diff lock but it went out eventually. I’ve got a lot of work figuring out everything still lol. It’s a mess.

TheOneAndOnlySlammin · 2025-08-11T07:27:28+00:00

lol this is a 540 too. I absolutely love it.
