Ugh..... I liked the eye bolt in the head stud hole idea mentioned above, until I saw what angles the eye bolts would be at. I wouldn't think a headless engine would be heavy enough to crush a pan, especially if you used a 4"-6" wide strap, but can't say for sure. Carc might be on to it...

Now that's a "hold my beer" moment..... Kudos to the operator. Glad it all worked out for you

General tip, lifters "tick" when they don't get enough lubricity, thin oil does not offer enough lubricity. Old oil may be thick to start, but thins very quickly as it warms, and may as well be water when it gets hot, note how the ticking gets louder as the engine gets warmer. Hydraulic...

Dad had one of these when I was 5, maybe 6 years old tops. I still remember the buzzer tone and the way it smelled, this brought those memories back for me. Thanks for that. Amazing work.

Nailed it! I love the key 😆😆😆

It appears that TM has been long scrubbed from the "free market", now as guy said it must be purchased and hoarded or found in a barn somewhere and uploaded. Even the Wayback machine yielded zero results. I have one friend up this way I will call, chances are low, but not zero.

Thanks for this, and the encouragement. When it is time for me to finally get one I'll be on the hunt for either a sub tub or crew cab like yours.

I'm praying for you buddy, can't do much else. Stay safe

Loud and clear, she's so pretty pretty pretty.

I just looked at that yesterday and was going to ask if that seemed a high price, glad you did it!!! He's got a few priced like that and his personal (I'm guessing) lssv listed with no price. Green iron ain't cheap up here I guess...

Bonus, head gaskets won't need done for a while.....

Glad she's running under her own power, but I must admit a little part of me was excited for the 4bt swap.....

Through Fastenal I found a 55 gallon drum of bar and chain oil for less than $500, comes out to just over $2 a quart. There were a lot more but I trust Fastenals' website more than the other guys. They also have a 5 gallon bucket for $80

2300 miles for this, 1300 miles for the Texas rally, 1100 for Louisiana...... I'm gonna need a Huey..... Is there a chance of setting up a Livestream so us "too far away-ers" can tune in should we want to?

Even better, probably cheaper and definitely lighter! Thank you for the correction.

With damage like that, I would get under the truck and push/pound/bend/pry the bent metal upwards, cut the pieces off, sand/grind the holes smooth, then lay a piece of 3/16 steel sheet down and self tap the squawk out of it, using shorties so as not to hit anything below the floor. If you want...

Yours says 60 amp, can't imagine why it wouldn't work. Hard to read the serial number but the amperage and voltages match so I would say it's good to go

Sounds like it was a riot! Did a rough mileage calculation and it came up to ~1,270, translating to 30-40hrs of road time, so unless I come across a steal on an F-18, or someone has a Chinook and wanton disregard for fuel money to airlift the ol girl down, we'll be watching from here wishing it...

Try rubbing some coolant on the inside of the hose to lube it, it's hard to tell without being there but it looks like the inside diameter is juuuuust large enough with some slippery stuff on it to slide onto the thermostat housing. If that fails I'd get a hold of the parts guys and see if the...

Nope, same crank, pretty sure same cam, different rocker arms, and better designed pistons for cooling. To turn an LDT into an LDS, one simply needs an LDS rebuild kit and injection pump because the timing is just a little bit different. I think even the flywheel and clutch assemblies are the...
