I haven't had a chance to go get mine apart yet (Been busy with brakes on a Jeep, fuel pump in a Blazer, and headed to tune up a Chevy truck), but will get to it in just a bit. It started to rain this morning, so I was waiting for it to stop and the calls just started pouring in for auto repair. Sad that I can fix everyone else's vehicles, but not my own (Guess that's why a painter's house always has peeling paint and a shoe maker is walking around in shoes that are ready to fall apart ... lol.). I really appreciate all the advice and the warm welcome to OB. I'll keep you guys up to date on what I find out tonight.
I would have sold it to one of you guys alot easier than the people that did contact me about it when it was for sale. At least someone on here would have appreciated the truck the way I do. Two guys that contacted me wanted to give me $400 for it because all they wanted was the turbo and tires, then crush the rest of the truck. After finding that out, I never even talked to them again because I didn't want to see that happen to it. By the way, a friend of mine has a 7.3L block with everything other than the injector pump, injectors, and oil cooler that he wants to get rid of for like $100. He ran it out of oil (completely out) and it started knocking. He bought a different motor out of a wrecking yard and I swapped it out for him. Now he has the old motor in his back yard and his girlfriend wants it gone. I can most likely get it off him for cheaper than that if someone is looking for a spare block or other parts. I thought about taking it off his hands if my block is damaged. Let me know and I'll be back on here later tonight. Thanks guys.
