Thanks for the tips everyone, going to give it a once over tommorrow before ordering parts.
Maybe this helps ID it a little also. When I go to turn it over, the WTS light will come on, maybe staying on for 5-10? seconds. I hear a "thunk/thonk" it sounds like. I'll cycle it, the WTS won't turn...
I've seen in a few areas (just randomly online via searches) that a newer 6.9 controller (screws into the engine block) can greatly reduce frying the plugs? Should I add a new wheel well relay to the overhaul? As for the 7.3 retrofit, is that fairly easy or takes it down for a while? Trying to...
Wondering if that's my truck marking it's parking spots some. Going to mobil 15w40 at some point from rotella 5w40. Doesn't help I need to clean the block anyway, just need to jack it up and have a go at it :p
Looks like the glow plugs are finally taking a dump in my truck. Anyone have leads on the good ones for a 6.9 diesel? Rockauto usually has the best pricing, but just want to check before saving up and ordering from there. Hoping for just the stock setup for now (new plugs/controller) as the...
Not to kick you while you are down, but keep a eye on those BF Bad Riches... Had a issue last year with one causing $3400+ in damages to my brothers truck. Naturally they deny a problem.

You sound like me with the junkyard! If I don't have to beat people off the 80's ford trucks with a .357, baseball bat and angry caged lion, then i'm doing that with PT Cruisers also!
Today was round two at the junkyard. Yesterday I had only 30 minutes to browse truck land (Ugh, Round two of a PT Cruiser Convertible Disassembly,Yes I am Good at it. too good....) So I picked up a Accelerator Pedal from a Freightliner Century Class Semi. Finished off getting a few more parts...
It's insane how out of reality the market place is. 3-4k on the low end for these trucks, especially a basket case one? good god. It's like i've stumbled into the twilight zone of overpriced stuff.
Around 2002? or so, We got a 1965 Dodge A100 van for $750. Bad engine (needed new main...
Interesting. Last time I was on the site it was a POS. everything was out of stock or the pricing was closer to a actual new tire. Seems to be a good price to get it down the road
