Up Date, 4 years later.... Well it turned out that the engine was locked up and truck had been under water, most likely from Katrina. Knew right after we got back with it that the engine was locked, so got a new in the can multi from GSA.

Today as we were pulling the engine we removed as much of the extra stuff off it to lighten the load, also drained the oil and about 1 1/2 GL of water came out with it! However the compressor, starter and HH pump show no signs of water damage. Tranny is toast also, only have drained the rear diff so far and only a TSP of water was in it, going to pull the axles and check bearings next.
The good thing is I have a M109 with a crappy box with A+ running gear and hard top cab that I was about to sell, but we have decided to do a heart, lung, hair transplant. Almost thought of doing a RAYZER Deuce road tractor conversion mod and move the 275 stuff over to the 109 but like the short wheel base.
