Been having some trouble with the M1010.
About a month ago cut out on me and after a bunch of different tests found out it wasnt getting fuel to the injectors somehow. At first I thought it could be the mechanical fuel pump which are known to go out so I bypassed it and put in an electric fuel pump rated at 7psi.
Well it still wasnt working so we did some more tests and found out that the actual injector pump went out. So i got the old one rebuilt and we threw it back in the truck. The thing fired right up and that same day we drove it up to malibu to spend the night in it. It drove pretty good other than a sort of knocking sound which at first I thought was the radiator fan hitting the shroud. But i got out checked the oil level and engine coolant just to make sure everything was good, and it was.
We got up to malibu fine. But when we woke up the next morning and started the ambulance, It fired right up. And we made it about 100 yards down the road when it started losing power, the oil light came on, and the rpm’s got super high and all of a sudden it just cut out completely and i popped the hood and a bunch of white smoke was coming out of the air intake area. Went to start it back up and it wouldn’t even turn over. So called AAA and Towed it home.
I am kind of stuck between getting this motor fixed or just spending the money and dropping in something else.
Two questions:
1) If you were to drop in an engine and transmission for around 10K with labor what would it be?
2) I am having trouble finding a shop that will even look at the 6.2 in Southern California. Any Old school dudes with time or a shop that you guys know of down in So-Cal to diagnose this engine to see if its even worth rebuilding?
