    Crankshaft movement

    I'm not a diesel mechanic expert, I have built my share of Chevy small blocks and big blocks, but something just doesn't sound right with that much play in the crank. Hopefully a diesel expert will chime in with some good advice.

    Crankshaft movement

    You shouldn't have that much up n down movement. If it was me, I would pull the pan and start checking the bearings.

    Crankshaft movement

    Crankshaft movement

    When you pull the main caps, check for a spun bearing. If you find one that has spun in the cap you will most likely need a new cap and have to have the block align-honed.

I did have one blow out on a ten wheel dump truck while I was driving it , it was like a stick of dinamite...

    What I do is just pour a 5 lb can of BB gun BB's out.. It's alot of fun and it always trips the light. I have a *bin mounted under the Duce that holds 50lb's of BB's. Every time they go on sale I buy a bunch of them.

    Turbo 350 to a 6.2L

    Just make sure you keep the transmission cool.. Heat is one of the biggest killers of automatic transmissions. Put a good cooler on it and a temp Gauge .
