Saw that. Wasn't sure if he is charging a fee or requiring a donation. If he is only requiring a 25$ donation than nothing has changed. The way I perceived the post was that there will be a 25$ fee payable to him.

Thanks

Perhaps he does need to clarify on this thread, since we are not the clairvoyant ones?

Quick question for the Mod of this forum. Is it the norm to merge all of the threads started into a single thread? Or is it just done to clean things up after answers have been posted? Just curious.

 

[doghead]

Well, in this case, you had at least 4 threads about the same truck, all running and talking about the same things and 2 in the wrong forums.

I could have taken more time/care and made sure they were merged chronologically, but I didn't.

Figured out the year thanks to Carnac! Submitted the SF97 and lined up some motor options im doing good. Thanks for all the help everyone!

 

[Kingpepsi]

So a bit of an update. I pulled an inspection cover on the passenger side of the motor. The #3 liner is completely destroyed. I can see right through the water passage and into the cylinder bore. The con rod appears to be intact however the piston and sleeve are destroyed. There is also a crack in the block at the very bottom of the bore. Looks like its time for a motor.

figured that would be the case. well there are still lots of good parts there!

 

[Kingpepsi]

Yeah I expected the worst and I got it haha. I decided on a straight swap. No fancy stuff. Just another 250. The plus side is theres a tag on the trans that says it was refurbished in 2006.

I am in CT and looking at buying a 5ton. How are you planning to reg it. I was going to try to play dumb and reg it as a camper. I read all the CT statutes there is nothing prohibiting it and no bathroom or sink requirement in the statute.

I am planning on trying to get it reged as an early american with historic plates. At that point it will be light weight with no commercial usage.
