My Dad was using the 1008 to haul a load of wood home from the farm. It started to get gutless coming up a hill and then smoked a bit and died on side of road. He called Mom to bring some oil. Turns out my near 80 yo parents deduced that there was no oil appearing on the dipstick. Unfortunately, they determined that AFTER they let the smoke out.
On a scale of 1-10, how screwed are we? Can the stock 6.2 be rebuilt after what I'm assuming was a full seize up from oil starvation?
I've already read lots of posts on 6.2 to 6.5, top turbo, side turbo, gas engine to & 12V conversions and decided the best bet for us is a stock 6.2 swap if we can't fix the one we have.
Any one with some experience in this arena, suggestions most welcome.
Thanks gang.
