I think the new owner is going to drop another motor in it. At least, that's what I'm going to pretend he is doing, wether is does or not. I made him promise not to tell me if he finds something simple that was broken.
Thanks man. The body is in really good shape, no rust at all, and there's an ungodly number of new parts. Had a guy come out and look at it today, and he made me an offer. Just a little less than I am willing to take right now. My diesel benz is spewing tranny fluid like BP, and the wifes...
Oh, and as for how many miles. the odometer says 70k something, IIRC. the motor looks to have been redone at some point, and there is a date stenciled on the oil pan (which looks like it's been repainted) that If remember correctly was some time in the last 10 years. None of that, of course...
Thanks, I don't take anything as patronizing. I wouldn't post here if I didn't want people's opinions.
With a diesel it's fuel, compression, and air. I've got the fuel and air (same problem with no air cleaner at all). White smoke generally means unburned fuel, and that means air in the...
all fuel lines replaced now, no change. while I would like to keep this thing, it looks like it is beyond what I can afford to do. About the only thing left is low compression, and that's not something I can afford to fix, nor am I in good enough health to do it.
I've got probably 2 grand...
Yeah, pretty much tried all of that...Today we got new lines on the fuel tank...those were the last one left to replace..
Thanks man, I will definately take you up on that. And let me know if there is anything I can do to help on the m1010.
Well, fuel tank is pulled and on the driveway. nothing obviously wrong, but the fuel lines weren't in the greatest shape so maybe replacing them will do the trick.
ok, rotated the ip to the passenger side...wouldn't start at all. Rotated it to the drivers side about 1/8 it started a bit easier, but still no go. Rotated it a bit further to the drivers side, and no start.
Dropping the fuel tank here in a bit.
Cursed at it. Begged and pleaded with it. Sacrificed chicken on the hood....ok, it was a chiken sandwich, but you can get sick from handling raw chicken.
I'm thinking it's more like 10 years from now I'll remember this and curl up int he fetal position and cry like a little girl.
It doesn't look like it has high milage...which I know doesn't really mean anything. It has a date stenciled on the oil pan, and the oil pan and the rest of the...
Thanks akonitony. Yeah, replaced the lift pump, drained the fuel tank and put in fresh fuel (burned the 10 gallons I drained out of it in my old beater mercedes diesel.) I'll check the tire pressure tomorrow...lol.
I wound up going with the bigsert inserts. and now the start seams to be...
