No I haven't been able to do one yet.

Well guys I've been messing with this thing on and off for the last couple weeks. I can get it running but takes a while to actually start if it sits more than a day. When I get it started it white smokes really bad and runs pretty rough. Would that be a bad injector or a couple bad injectors?

Haha. *by his store.

Not yet. I'll go buy his store when I'm done getting it working!

I changed the head out a couple weeks ago and it runs pretty good now. I cracked the coolant crossover in the process so I ordered a new one yesterday. But I still can't get the transmission to do anything. I can hear it shift and it has enough fluid. I guess I am going to drop the pan and...

Oil and Gen 1 light

Why would these lights stay on with the key off?

Well I'd have to pull the motor to do a ring job or change that piston. If that motor comes out it's not going back in. Do you think it's bad enough to not put the new head on and see What happens

Yeah that's the worst one the wall looks decent. It looks like there is a gap at the bottom of the piston just from looking at the pic

Well I haven't updated in a week or so. I ordered a rebuilt head and pulled my old one off last night. Well... it's gonna need more than a head. So now it's decision time. Do I find a 6.2 to drop in it, a 6.5 or a cummins?

Okay great info Rich. I think I'm going to try to tackle taking it off this weekend.

Thanks I guess I need to just break down and take it to a shop

I'm not scared of taking on a big job I just done have time to mess with it right now to that extent.

I have some experience but I also like learning new stuff but this may be too much for me.

I'm not sure yet. By rebuild what do y'all mean?
