I use this truck hauling gravel hay and manure in the farm. It runs good. It will haul 5 tons of gravel.

So I just replaced the head gaskets again and so far so good. I put a block of wood under the throttle pedal to help keep my foot out of the firewall 😹.

Sign me up. This is an awesome resource

I can put a boost gauge on it. That’s no big deal. And yes I’m sick of changing head gaskets 😹. Any advice on who sells the best head gaskets. Thanks

So any advice in where to get the best head gaskets. Does anyone make a new gasket any more for these motors

So I followed the torque specs I found on the technical manual section two years ago. To get the nuts that are on the left side of the head I welded a socket on to a cut down 12 point wrench so I could torque them down. And yes I thought about to much boost being an issue. I mean it might put...

I removed the valve cover and all the springs are good. I bared the motor over and they all feel about the same as far as lash goes nothing sloppy or to tight. I ordered the head gasket set. So I’ll see what things look like when I get it apart. This truck gets used a lot in the farm. I...

I replaced the head and all the parts to go with it. It acted the same with the old head and the new one
