If you want to do that you definitely need an S280 shelter. Best of both worlds that way. But then you need to buy a wrecker to lift it in and out... or be creative.

I've got about 3,000 pounds on you, unloaded just with all my tools and a full load of fuel. Never seen a generous scrap yard scale yet either.

Well, if it was a multifuel you probably would have melted a piston... but I bet you at least melted some small pockmarks into the piston tops if you hit that temp for more than a couple of seconds.

I don't expect it to last long Whatadeuce, the bearings are most likely badly pitted from the rust that seized it. Don't want a turbo failure on the road.

Glad you had fun man! Now yout see what yours could do with the proper application of the right components. Of course, you would have to unhook that 8,000 pound camper trailer someday... You have to work on your punctuation buddy.

I'll take it! One more piece of the puzzle!

I'm not sure I would call him wrong until I've seen it for myself...

Thanks buddy, I appreciate that.

It leaks directly onto the exhaust housing of the turbo, which can, and has caused fires. The manufacturers haven't written manuals for these in decades. The info I posted is well known known by most all of us who deal with these trucks. Don't be a turd, nobody needs to hear that garbage.

The flame heaters are just too problematic and downright dangerous ( read vehicle fires) to deal with.

Then don't use ether. Use brake parts cleaner, or some gasoline on a rag, or a little on the air filter. My truck, and many others that live way up in the great white north, do not use or even have the flame heater anymore. I've started mine with no trouble in temp just above freezing. The flame...

Mules, I may have you post some more detailed pics so I can possibly fab the missing pieces, if you don't mind, and you have the time.

Good deal. Now I just have to find the bottom tray that holds the probe assembly, and a power supply.

1/8" pipe plugs. Stainless preferred.

You can find a good takeout, or possibly even a new one for what the rebuild will likely cost.

I bent my front floor pan when we removed my old engine. Things straighten out easy without a motor in there though.

That video has been posted on this site before. Remember that south American countries, well, most any country other than us still has real diesel fuel, and it smokes more than our fake fuel here.

It is not the screen you see when you open the fuel cap. You have to pull the pump to see it, it is connected to the pump. You could likely buy a multifuel engine and trans to swap in for a bit less than the parts you need are going to cost you.

Just get an assortment of nitrile orings from harbor freight and find one that fits. No need for viton here.

I bet on a head gasket blown between two cylinders. Hope not, but sure sounds that way. Any miss will usually seem to get better at higher rpm, as long as it is only a single cylinder miss, but don't be fooled. It is still missing.
