So I purchased a 94 4wd idi 7.3 turbo diesel from a Co worker... Took solid care of it as it appeared...but things are not quite that. Unfortunately I am the guy that starts on one thing and makes it a career.... Blah. Had truck 2 weeks and appears water pump is going bad, bearing noise plus fan can be moved around. Allegedly the whole system was gone through, no so looking at the pump.
Coolant is clean, replacing with vc5 and sca, flushing out with with distilled, new 13lb cap, thermostat, serpentine, hoses great shape. Using FoMoCo pieces. Then I started looking at other things and more purchases till the living room was cluttered with boxes. Wife looked like the kid from Home Alone with her 'not again'. Had a 73 Bronco I restored fully... She knows better.
Regardless, a good number of projects coming so I will be picking your extensive knowledge base so I can feel comfortable with this truck.
Regards
Bob
