Well after draining the oil I found 5 gallons of diesel in the case and metal shaving. Now comes the hard part of what to do.
Should I re power her? Replace with the same engine? Cost is always the bottom line.
I'm worried that the same thing will happen if I go with the same engine. Re power with a Cummings 250 but at what cost?
Or find a newer engine like a Perkins or cat or something that will hook up to the transmission and fit in the engine bay.
It needs to be a bolt in replacement I don't have the shop to mod much and the time to do it myself so my mobile mechanic will be doing most of the labor.
Buy a new truck? I would be starting over with the same issues that i had with this one. I've already done so many things to her.
Any Ideas and suggestions will help.
