Got up for work today and fired up the 6.9 and was greeted by horrid clacking.
I'm guessing that I've somehow dropped a valve, between the smoke and clatter which is constant with rpm, engine shakes like 1 is missing.
I've done a lot more than I ever thought I would with these trucks, hell engines in general with some of the lawn mower engines I've rebuilt from looking like parts sales on the floor but taking heads off this truck is just something I cannot do. I guess I will need to take valve covers off and try to identify what is happening here once I figure out which side is angry which I couldn't tell this morning at all.
That being said, when I end up selling this thing and being disgusted because I can't fix it, opinions on fair price are welcome. I got the thing half running and ended up replacing glow plugs, return lines, rear tank, fuel selector valve, fan clutch, IP and Injectors from Mel, put in a new clutch and flywheel (well @FarmerFrank did that) all within the last 3 years. I added under dash AC also. 143k miles. I paid 5k, I'd think if it were running normally it would be worth 4k ish.. so maybe 3k since it's got said issue.. I don't know. (1985 F350, 4x4, T19, 3.55 gears)
Beyond disgusted.
