Need opinions - Civi 6.5 buy

[NDT]

A housemover down the road from me has a running, driving 94 Chev extended cab 1 ton dually with flatbed for sale for $800. Manual trans, 4x2, has water in the oil (cracked block?). Shows 75,000 miles. Turbo 6.5. Body and tires are fair. Should I buy this for a CUCV turbo donor and part out the rest? I hate parting out running trucks.

if it was me i would cause there is way over 800 in parts there

 

[det rebel]

if it was me with there being water in the oil i would make share the turbo is good and not rusted up and to me you got a really good deal that i wish i could find cause just think a set of injections is 2 to3 hundred

 

[det rebel]

xyou got a dually rearend there is another 3 to5 hundred and i keep going but i think you get the point

You can't loose with that. Worse case scenario you could pull $400 in parts out of it and then scrap it to break even.

PUNCTUATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't care if it is a smart phone. It is not too smart if you can,t punctuate on it.

 

[det rebel]

my phone don't like PUNCTUATION so i aint going to use it

 

[det rebel]

but i would get the truck just cause i can see all the parts that i could use and it out ways the price of a measly 800 bucks you could probably triple your money in parts

Are you sure the water in the oil is just not a blown head gasket or cracked oil cooler. May be a perfectly good engine. I would definitely get it and check it out.

rick your correct i would check that out but that is about as much work as finding out that you have a blown head gasket as finding out you have a cracked block

my phone don't like PUNCTUATION so i aint going to use it

I would urge you to reconsider your position on punctuation. At least re-read the rules so you aren't taken by surprise by the actions taken by the moderators.

if they have a problem with how my phone puts words down then i guess then can do with out my expertise in then many mv's i own and in my mechanic abilities and the years of being a mechanic and the helping of people if i actually had a computer with me then i cold do better but the phone has a mind of its own some times

 

[rickf]

Maybe it is just because I am old but I had one **** of a time reading that last post. I had to read it several times. I guess it all makes sense to the texting generation but not me. My phone makes and receives calls, that is all it does. I have texted on occasion and I do take the time to punctuate. Yes it is a pain but.............................

sorry its kinda hard to see on a 2" x 2" screen sorry about that and that had nothing to do with the texting generation

If the turbo is good and you get the injectors and injection pump your already ahead of the game!
