Went and helped wrecker with his wrecker today.He drained the......stuff in the crank case.about 13-15 gallons of.....Stuff....We refilled it with clean oil,Drained the fuel tank(Ummm,wreck.what EXACTLY was in there?) and refilled with something that had a brownish color with a slight green tint and smelled like diesel.Fired it up and it runs but it now sounds like a steam locomotive.My evaluation is it ate a valve when it ran away.Still runs smoothish but has a very pronounced CHUFF CHUFF CHUFF out the stack.Figure it floated a valve and smacked it with the piston.But it is mobile again.we didn't change the O rings.Wanted to see if we could get it running first and it runs ok enough to move to the Alternate LZ I hope.He is looking at buying a 400 cummins with a 9 speed from a cab over Ford.
