Couldn’t agree more Kevin. A good trick is to hook a chain to the truck & get a friend to pull you down the road in 3rd or fourth gear to spin the engine over rather than the starter. You can’t do it on a power wagon but on the old Cadillacs I just pull the distributor & I made a shaft long enough that fits down into the oil pump that I can hook my drill to & just pressurize the whole engine with oil. Then I just turn it over with the starter while spinning the oil pump. Works excellent but since the PW has the drive gear on the oil pump, it doesn’t work here.
