Welcome from west Tennessee. There are some great guys with a lot of information here you'll be glad you joined.

I hear ya. We can always make more money but never more time. Good luck.

From what I hear it can be a job. Note/disclaimer: I have never rebuilt a head I'm just going off some info from my dad, uncle, Cuz, who have all been around and built engines for a long time, a few reputatable machanics, and a Chilton book.

A rebuild is like an engine rebuild. Just smaller. You take off the heads pull the glow plugs, injectors, valves, valve springs, the whole nine yards. Then you can have the heads magnafluxed for cracks, faced and valve seats ground and polished, either replace all the valves or have the ground...

Are yours cracked?

Ditto. I second the head rebuild..

Can this be done on a m1008?

What type of suggestions are you looking for?

I guess the Lord needed another helper. May he be with his family in their time of need. He moves in mysterious ways but he has a plan. I never had the privilege to meet or have a conversation with him but he sounds like a great man. RIP Walt.

Oh. Ok:-? Good luck.

Are you sure you want to give up? That truck must have stood out to you if you bought it. So just make sure its what you want.

Still won't start?

Bypass the filter. Just make sure there isn't any crud in the jug of fuel. That's what I would do.

Then change your filter. That might help.
