Just relax bro. Don’t be in such a hurry to have your lunch eaten.

bluehorse, I don’t have a swingfire heater/kit for sale. I do have a 30,000BTU fuel fired forced air cab/bed heater kit for sale. Let me know if this is what you think you wanted.

If it is an electronic engine, they are very self contained and require only battery and ignition power to start an run. Then 6 wires direct from ECM to throttle pedal, and done. 24v starters and alternators are the majority on diesel engines throughout the world. US is the only one that...

Good things come to those who wait...

Value of these trucks is going up for now. If you had a way to get it home, store it, work on it, and used parts access at a reasonable cost, then you could do OK. Assume engine would be $3,000 if 8.3L and needed replaced (rare but happens). Considering aforementioned, pull the engine oil...

Should we shake him upside-down and take his lunch money?

From Germany! That officially makes this an issue getting global attention. Oh yeah, you’d have to post the pictures too in order for them to be useful. :)

If it is an 8.3L, it is a fuel pressure sender used for diagnostics only. Remove, discard, and plug it with the appropriate fitting.

Yep, that is exactly why I checked it.

OK gents. I'm getting ready to order 11 replacement new torque rod end links. I want to be able to use my truck, with confidence, off-road, otherwise it is pointless. There have been enough scary stories about axles coming loose or even off and damaging a lot of stuff, so I consider myself to...

Pics or it didn't happen.

Fun, thanks for posting it.

Ron may be trying to reach the keyboard with 35psi blowing at him:

Classic! Love dead thread revivals. It shows site stamina, how well the search function works, I guess. ........and you guys thought it was taking me a long time to do my engine/trans swap.

Get enough threads, and maybe you can weave yourself a seat.

Your alternator will actually thank you more than anything else. It can now top off the batteries quickly, and then chug along nice and cool while supplying only the 6 amps or so needed to run the engine. Old batteries continuously suck on an alternator as they never fully recharge, and this...

Ummm, put it on high, and plug it into 220...

Not yet.

Should just be the top end that fell apart. Best thing to do is to identify why it failed. Seems like the bolt backed out, so I’d get replacement parts, take them all apart, and torque them all to spec, paint stripe them each when done, and reassemble. Distractions during assembly can be...

Bummer. You have the worst mechanical luck. 8.3’s are nearly bulletproof. That one 12 point bolt looks like it is backed out?
