    Hydrolocked, big repair ahead.

    that actually is the mark of the spring on the oil ring, it was destroyed as well and stuck on top and one side. originally an exhaust/escape valve broke and caused all the damages..

    actually i thought it was hydro-lockedd when i noticed the coolant reservoir empty. it was an exhaust valve broken that caused all the damage.

    a exhaust or escape valve stem broke and the valve head destroyed the piston. part of the stem punctured he head. checking now what would be the best route of action, a friend of a friend is removing a 6.5 turbo freshly rebuilt to install a cummings, will check price with him.

    it could be a valve stuck with something and it hit the piston something i noticed when i removed the lifters on the driver side is that none of them had pressure on it while when i removed the passenger side definitely was pressure in a couple of them.

    it could be even though i made sure everything was free of debris, tools and fasteners near the intake area. or it could be something lose from the repair they did, this is a freshly repair by Melton in 2009 and the truck only have 22 miles since rebuilt (at least i want to think so) i...

    Air conditioner

    thanks for getting back to me. this was the first idea I had, so in this way i don't have to run the lines from the compressor all the way back to where the unit is.

    thank you for letting me know, it was posted list night using my phone and it was acting weird. it is a 6.5 NA 4 speeds transmission. I really don't know how bad it is, it could be as simple as a head gasket or a damaged head to a cracked cylinder.

    Yes, only difference i bought it at the autoparts and this one does not have the little aluminum thing to block the water however the intake is sealed in that section. No water should be coming in from there.

    I am not trying to hijack this thread, but trying to find out if they sell longer hoses to move the inside unit a little far back? I have a 2-man truck and converting to 4-man truck.
