I've looked at promar a bunch of times... that's actually one of the ways I'm leaning most.. I'm selling one of my jeeps and getting a good bit of cash, and I'm between rebuilding, dropping in a new engine.. getting my trans looked over, and fixing up my idi a bit I paid for the axles under it...- slim072590

And one other question... if I test all 8 cylinders and one or two are low... how do I do a leak down test to see if it's my rings or valves? Sent from my C811 4G using Tapatalk- slim072590

The only other thing that concerns me is putting 1k (give or take) and fixing/ getting perfect, new heads.. is that on 5k or 10k miles my block dies from bad coolant, or abuse from PO or whatever else it went through before me I wouldn't mind rebuilding the whole thing, but if I get it all...- slim072590

Once the engine is warmed up and everything swells... how long does it take to remove all 8 glow plugs? It won't cool to much while removing them? And you can test each cylinder individually with no glow plugs in it at all right? It won't change psi from no plugs And it holds psi in the gauge...- slim072590

Sorry its been so long... talked to the guy again, he said he never even tested it... he can just " hear" it upon start up and it does huff and chuff at a idle... he said he " just knows these engines and its a valve or guide".. it only needs head work I don't have the tools, the Ford dealer...- slim072590

The frame, body, axles, and everything are in perfect shape... with the exception of paint.. I want and need a truck, this one has room for people, and I won't be able to come close to a newer 4 door truck for 3k.. I plan on keeping the truck for a while.. I know little things like...- slim072590
