Just checking to see if anyone might know about this.
A buddy of mine recently replaced the factory engine in his 2000 PSD with an engine out of a 1998 school bus, it will now crank over but wont start. Im thinking there is a problem with the cam pos sensor as i've had experience with those causing the crank but no start problem.
I know that the school bus engine was of the first gen PSD variety, no intercooler and fuel pump in the valley rather than on the frame rail(electric) like 99+ trucks.
Will the 1998 engine work in his truck? Besides the fuel pump and IC, are there any other differences between the two that would make it an "impossible" swap?
Any input would be appreciated- and Mods, if this is inappropriately posted then i'll delete/move it, its just that this is the only forum i'm a member of and I value opinions here more than elsewhere.................
