Pretty sure you need an LDS motor.
As for towing, if they use the correct bar you won't need brakes on your truck. Just make sure it is a competent towing company with experience towing big trucks. They tow my 818 with a 60-ton wrecker and i'm guessing he could have run down the road at 70Mph...
Not much out there that will out pull an MV? Ever been to a pull with 4x4 turbo diesel pickups. They easily out pull an MV.
A few of us went to a pull last year and all had 5-tons. Every diesel pickup out pulled the 5-tons except for one that broke and another didn't make it more than a few...
I know this isn't funny but that looks to be the same spot my block cracked when my crankshaft broke into two pieces. My truck still ran on the back three cylinders but man what a racket. Felt like it was going to bring the front wheels off the ground like a hoopty.
Yes, you cam tow bar it...
Sorry about your luck but I have had an engine decide it was better to be in pieces than stay together.
Like Gimp said, find a motor and pull the engine pack out, swap the engine and either put the pack back together or put the engine in by itself and add the rest.
Lots of help on the site.
I believe you meant to say they blow up (crack the case) in reverse low when under a load. Just putting the truck in reverse low and backing around the yard won't blow it up.
But it never hurts to be safe.
Welcome aboard from Ohio.
Edmonton, the only city in the only country where I have been accused of being an illegal alien and detained and fined $200c when my plane landed. Ah yes, good times.

I went through this with GL. Paid sales tax on the truck when I bought it. Walked into the BMV and they calculated the tax already paid to GL and it covered the state tax they wanted. Zero went to the state and I kinda think they get screwed by GL, not me.
For those that do not know the NHC-250 is also used in other M-Series trucks. :-)
