TurnedUp

[Harrison]

I can't drive the parts truck. Steering/vacuum/injection pump are not on it, neither is the timing cover, radiator or intercooler.

The yard motor is 180hp being auto, and the parts truck also has a 180hp pump. I think I'd be plenty happy with either my pump (175hp) or the 180hp pump with governer springs and delivery valves (which I both have.)

Potential buyer for my motor is not interested if I pull any parts off it.

throw the dice...

you did when you bought a $4K truck.. why stop now...

[Harrison]

Trying to learn from past mistakes. That said, I think I'm leaning towards letting them roll again!!

$1200 w/o questionable p-pump

Brand new Pepboys 265 mud terrains on mint stock wheels
Rust free hood, bed, fenders
Auto with cherry red fluid
HX35
Hydroboost
3.55 axles, new u/ball joints on front axle, new looking TRE's
Extra intercooler, radiator, and lots of other stuff. Only need to use p-pump and timing cover from my motor.

So should have plenty of opportunity to make my money back! So far, so good!! Remains going to scrap Monday morning.

Any opinion on head gasket brand? Felpro ok?

[TrailTamer]

I'd go with cummins brand head gasket. http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/94-98-performance-parts-discussion/485355-felpro-head-gasket-ok-big-price-difference.html

[mr.mindless]

i always run OE Cummins stuff when available.

[Harrison]

I read that thread, and many others like it. Also ready many that said their Felpro HG's were "fine"

I suppse OE is the smarter thing to do on a job that would suck so much to repeat.

I need the turbo flange and about 4" of exhaust downpipe if that is going to the crusher.

[Harrison]

Lika that??

Price break down after one week:

Price   Part
   
$1,200    Truck
$268    Cummins head gasket kit
$135    Head bolts
   
-$115   Tube steps, mirror, dash
-$85   Driver fender, taillight plug
-$300   Transmission
-$275   Scrap
-$135   HX35
-$90   HY35
-$220   Intake horn, alt, AC comp, alt bracket, stat housing
   
$383    Total invested

Stuff moved FAST. Still have brand new mud tires, axles, hood, rad, intercooler, tailgate and lots of other misc stuff to sell as well. Have some odds and ends left to buy, but I am expecting to actually make money on everything (knock on wood.)

Lika that??

Nope, I need an earlier one where the pipe mounts directly to the turbo without the ball socket.  thanks anyways.
