I'm going to use this thread to keep track of putting my '94 crewcab back into good running order. The engine is ragged out, will burn a quart of oil in 50 miles. It smokes terribly under load. The e4od transmission is OK so far, and other than letting the engine wear out, the previous owner kept up on maintenance pretty well. It has a new throttle cable, new radiator, nice new battery cables, rebuilt injector pump by Advance Diesel down in Anchorage, and not many problems overall. It was a farm truck, and the body shows that. It's scraped against several trees.
My plan is to get a new engine in it this summer, since that's the only major defect.
I just had a junkyard engine come back from the machine shop with 8 new sleeves and the crank balanced. I have a 90cc pump and injectors from Wes, and he should be sending me a rebuild kit and a turbo real soon now. I have a typ4 cam from Russ. I also have some nice blue Bronco seats to replace the front bench.
The previous owner thought this truck was an Alyeska truck, which means it spent years driving up and down the highway along the pipeline, idling all winter and most of the summers. It's probably already on its third or fourth engine. The previous owner had it out on a farm for some years, and he told me he hadn't realized it smoked until he brought it across the river and tried to sell it.
Here is a picture of the engine on the stand, fresh from the machine shop.
