Learning stick is easier on a diesel as they are hard to stall. Of course I wouldn't put any weight in there as it has so little power and sounds like it might brake in half. Safe travels. 

 

Not to steal your thead, yet for some time I've wanted to put a GM v6 diesel in my otherwise stock MJ. Of course, having a Jeep titled as a Diesel might be a good start for parts and serieal numbers. DMV in most states doesn't care too much about such things as long as the years are close and not too obvious. Except I know CA and some other DMVs seem to be run by Hitler Youth  so it might be a problem

 

Good luck with your purchase!

A few things here guys.

 

The truck was well undercoated.  The frame itself is intact and fine.

 

The rockers, cab corners, floors, doors, bed, fenders, hood, header panel, windshield are all JUNK.
That is why I say "about to break in half"

 

The brakes are $#!&.  We bought it with 101k miles on it and drove it to where it sits now, up over 260k.   We put a set of brakes on it when we bought it.  That's it.  Brake lines to rear are very rotten, but fuel lines are good yet.
 

 

 

That Renault 2.1l tows just fine, and will handle everything you can throw at a 4.0.   Don't let the hp rating fool you, torque is what gets you going, and it's got more of that than a 258 straight 6.   They are peppy.

I'm only bothered about this truck because I spent the last year getting over letting it go.   I learned to drive on that truck, and took my driver's test in it.   One of under 40 in the continental U.S.
