Yep, any diesel I’ve had experience with, 99% of the time if it acts funny; change the fuel filters! HAHA

I actually just took mine on a 75mile trip after work yesterday. Blast to drive, and surely a head turner. Not sure I can count how many thumbs up I got. We get it though, you don’t like them, you don’t want another, you don’t wanna work on them, you didn’t enjoy driving one. And that’s ok...

Anyone order them yet?

It’s more than just a vehicle it’s a passion and some thing about keeping history alive. It’s not for everyone, to each their own

I must be in the wrong business, because ya’ll are always buying toys! Haha

Where are people finding the rockers? Just curious

Hopefully a resurface of .001 would be awesome/ideal; fingers crossed! Make sure they note how much material it actual takes!

Y’all should check out the new diesel line of valves then. As I mentioned before. They’re finding that a dump valve/“blow off” is helping to extend turbo life on some vehicles. Although, not an issue with what we are talking about.

Correct for diesels. I guess I should have noted that also. I mentioned the blow off only because it was being described and didn’t want them confused. But yes, you’re correct that Diesel engines do not need a “blow off”. Now if you want to get technical, haha, some of these new vehicle Diesel...

A wastegate is used to limit boost pressure by relieving exhaust pressure from its turbine so it won’t spin any faster; a blow off valve is used to relive the boost pressure when you let off the throttle.

LDS-465 trouble shooting guide; Look at page 49 of this manual, talks about head gaskets, cracks, etc…

I’ll see if I can hunt down the actual TM. I had those pictures saved on my phone.

If I had the budget, I would do larger tires AND that transmission swap. Why? Well, we all know big tires can lug you down and rob “power” but gain higher top speed. So why not swap in that trans, and the larger tires. The closer gears(ratios) will help combat the large tires for city driving...

Yes, the cylinder head; I dug these pictures up…

Per the TM, cracks are NORMAL in that area, as long as they don’t crack past or actually into the valve seats.

Maybe your steering box is broken inside??

Yeah same here. I have a guy that does all that stuff also; but he wants a file, not a picture. He would use the picture, but would charge me extra to “map” it out

I’ve asked and asked, searched and searched ,but have only been given pictures.

Welcome, cool truck; NEO also, Creston(44217) to be exact

Technically yes. If you can hunt down a dial bore gauge, you can check the bore/sleeves for wear. Then you’ll know if they are worn and should be replaced.
