Ok so i tried to get a wrecker a few weeks ago and that guy flaked on me. So here is a new prospect.
it's a 1982 Chevy with a 6.2.
The good: the body is in great shape. VERY little rust. Has a wheel lift, and a extendable boom. In general the truck seems sturdy. 4 speed trans, PTO and all controls look good
The bad: The 6.2 isn't running. They think it needs a new injection pump, but they admit to not knowing a lot about diesels. he it just quite on him one day and couldn't get it started again. He changed all the filters and replaced the lift pump, and gave it two small shot of ether(arg) and it started but died again. I can replace and time an injection pump, but i am rightly scared more is going on than just no fuel. (p.s. anyone have a working 6.2 injection pump they can part with?)
so here are somep ics. any opnions about value or the engine issues would be REALY appreciated. I am considering swapping to a 6.9 if i can find one sheap enough, but for now i just need to get the truck moving.
