So what I picked up is a clean rust free 92 cc single zf 4x4 long bed. It has some issues, and some i've been sorting out on my own. Need ideas on an oil leak and on popping noise through exhaust. The oil leak comes first, where the oil filter threads on, there is the cast end, followed by a pipe going forward, followed by another cast end, mine is leaking between the cast ends and the pipe, is there an o-ring or what in there? does someone sell a kit for these, or is it a non-serviceable item(replacement only)
On to the exhaust noise. It sounds like an old john deere tractor, through the straight pipe. only sounds like one cyl. also has slightly rough idle, causing the dmfw to rattle. It idles around 600? rpm. seems like a dead cyl. the truck itself only has 130,000 on it, and so far I don't have access to a comp. tester. I did however start it up, and had the old lady hold it at 1500 while I took one a infrared temp gun and checked the manifolds, they all seemed to come up to 125-150 pretty quickly. I took it to the local diesel shop and after a 2 min parking lot listen the guy who seemed very un-interested in it pretty much said he thought it was timing, which I have slowly one hash at a time advanced also no timing lamp available. I know what ping sounds like, and I haven't gotten to that point yet. The pump and injectors have been replaced before, within 5k I think. So far I really like the truck, I just need to fix the little issues, and then get more power out of it.
Any ideas you guys have are appreciated and if anyone in northern pa/southern ny has a comp tester or light, and wants to help out give me a yell. thanks
