You ever decide to sell it let me know.I took it for its first drive since December 2013. Probably ought to burn up all that fuel.
I wasn't planning on it, but for the $300. price tag, I couldn't not buy it.

The story:
So there I was minding my own business looking at Kijiji to see what I might get for a 1986 F-250 4x4 with a 6.9. I'm going to sell it because I have too many vehicles. I came across a 1997 F-250 4x4 with a ZF-5 with no engine for $500. I replied to the ad with an email. No reply. Next day I refresh the ad thinking that it had already been sold. It is now at $300.! I phoned. No answer. I texted. No reply. The next morning I get up and check my email aroung 9:30 and there's a reply. "Several people want this parts truck first come gets it 9am-530 thanks." I think great, its probably gone. I have breakfast and think, it's close, maybe I should just check. After loading the tow bar, tow lights, and tools in the truck, I headed out. It's about 10:20 now. Lo and behold, the parts truck is still there!
It had been bought by a transportation company that wanted it just for the engine. They took the engine out and put it in one of their passenger vans. The old van engine got put in the box of the parts truck. So I got a 7.3 PSD engine in pieces, but it needs a rebuild. They just wanted the parts truck gone. I was really surprised no one else jumped on it.
I gladly paid them $300. Dropped the bumper, hooked up the tow bar and lights, and drove off with it like a bandit.
Don't they still hang horse-thieves up there ? Between the tranny, and even if a few of the "externals" (injs, HPOP, etc) on the motor are good, this is def. the deal of the day. Gotta love how the suspension has that "ohhh, my engine's in the wrong end...." sorta look.I wasn't planning on it, but for the $300. price tag, I couldn't not buy it.

log truck;
jb welded my pipe back into the pressure chamber.should last for a while i hope until i can take them off both trucks and have a piece of aluminum pipe i bought,welded on for a correct fix.it's been ok in chip truck but i think i reamed the hole out a bit too much on log trucks so the pipe slides out easy.hopefully i got enough jb weld on it to least make it though tomorrow.
that did the trick.snap quick 10+ lbs of boost and 900 EGT peaks.......oh how nice it is to have power.
banks + intercooler + 5.13 = smiles.
