Thanks David. If you ever get the hankering to load the Mog up with a cooler and tools, just let me know. It would be a heck of a trip, that's for sure!

Don't worry, this thread will be chock full of pics, info, and updates just like the last one!

No work seesions yet, but I have been accumulating more parts. The mailman dropped off a rather bulky package for me today. It contained a fuel-burning heater and control box that was purchased from a SS member/friend. I may not have a running truck, but I have a sweet heater to go in it!!

I haven't had a chance to go tinker since I dropped the truck off at John's and it's killing me. This weekend is no good since I will be at the WVU/Cincinnati game in Morgantown. I am hoping to get down there sometime next week. I need to troubleshoot the engine to see what parts I need for it, if it's salvageable. I am hoping to get it to turn over with a wrench. If it does, then I will hook a starter up to slave cable and see if it will build oil pressure.

Hopefully I'll have some good news to post next week. In the meantime, I'll be buying more parts!!

Chris, or Bruce, or Whoever,

The ether injection point on the side of the 8.3 motor, is there a check valve in that fitting? Does the ether line need to be hook up at all times? When I was running my motor, I realized it was not hooked up (because I dont have one, the line is missing from the ether can to the block) but the motor ran fine and fluid was not coming out of the fitting. Could it just be plug off for the time being???

Sorry for using your thread for the info Chris so I will ask a related question. Are you going to work on your truck this weekend?? These parts are wanting a home.

The ether atomizer nozzle is mounted in the intake plenum. I would imagine there is a one-way check valve in the nozzle. If there isn't, then you will lose a small amount of boost pressure out of the orifice when the turbo is producing boost, but nothing more. You should be able to feel any air escaping with the engine revved up.

As for my truck, no I am not working on it this weekend as I'll be in WV visiting my in-laws. I plan on getting down there to work on the engine next Wednesday or at the latest, next Saturday. I'll email you a want list soon

People are getting hungry for 939A2 trucks I guess. I was bidding on 2 residue trucks today to get some parts like the hardtop and the windshield assembly. Both trucks went for more than the cost of my whole truck! With scrap prices dropping so badly, I can only guess someone was buying 2 trucks to make one. Otherwise, you would have to sell a lot of parts off of them to get your money back. Good luck to whomever got them.

Looks like I'll be looking elsewhere for parts.

Well, don't look at Ft. Bliss; the 927A1 went crazy--I quit it at $4500, missing too many parts to go any higher.

The 928A1 definitely had potential though. http://web.govliquidation.com/auctio...73&picNumber=1 It closed at $6811. You could put $4000 in it and still come out OK. You don't see too many LWB trucks w/w.

These 923A2 trucks on there other hand were really stripped. Neither truck had a tranny or engine. The one had an incomplete front end, which was missing the hard to find CTIS spindles/hubs. The other was missing the front end altogether and the rears were incomplete.
