It has to be crated with YRC

I bought a running takeout motor from a guy here on steelsoldiers and had YRC ship it from GA to KS.

New (used) motor arrived on Friday afternoon at the shop. With luck...we'll be back in business prior to July 4!!! eric

The shop I towed it to, pulled out the injectors to check for a hydro locked motor. No water in cylinders. They believe the bottom of the motor is seized up. They cannot bar the motor over. There is water in the oilpan. Since the truck was having issues with hi temps...they believe it's...

About a 30 mile trip. Coolant levels and fluid levels were all checked on last Saturday.

I was taking my M923A1 to the barn this afternoon when the truck began to lose power and eventually died on me. The engine hot light was illuminated but the temp gauge only showed 190. After waiting about 10-12 minutes, it started back up. About 1 mile from my destination, same thing happened...
