I bought a ex- uhal truck with this motor 7.3 IDI. I guess it means its not a turbo. Cant tell what im dealing with. How do you test an see what shape the motor is in? For starters. I have 89,000 miles on it accordingh to the guage but rweally? Im not sure being a UHaul thats an accurate reading. Not sure how to find out about it. Maybe DMV. So I will need a book and a tip on what to do right away to start caring for this motor. Its a goin to haul my mini excavator soon I hope. Not even sure if its gonna pull it well. Weighs in at 7700 and the trailer is every bit of 2000. truck weighs 8100... So Ill be doin some study to see if I got the tool or just a moving truck. I guess Im just asking what to do check the health of the motor and what to do to wstart caring for it. and any book that can get me understanding the diesel motor .. 7.3 is where Ill start readuing i suppose... Boy i jumped on it for 3000 but dont know yet if it were the right truck.
Thanks in advance
