I'm going to, a friend of mine said he can get t done at a shop he works at.

Picked up a car this weekend and finally got some spare time to get to work on the truck. I ordered an injector that I'm going to make a compression tester out of, in the meantime I've been stripping the topend down, since even if the pistons are somehow all good, it needs head gaskets since...

I started pulling parts off yesterday, got a bunch of the intake piping and stuff off. I'll keep the thread updated on my progress and what I find when the heads come off

I've been watching your series on it. It's a cool idea but again, that much fabrication and work isn't something I'd b able to do with the space and supplies I have available. Plus this truck is more of a toy, I highly doubt I'll put enough miles on it to have to rebuild it for a very long time...

Ive looked around and there's not much for takeouts around here. Plus, it would be easier for me to rebuild it than lift that massive thing out and set in another with the limited tools and equipment I have on hand. Plus I enjoy that kinda stuff so I see it as more of a fun learning opportunity...

Well that sure does suck. After I pick up a car this weekend I guess I'm gonna tear the heads off this hings and see just what happened

https://youtu.be/IyIvpZ7acHs It's quiet from the engine bay, much more noticeable in the cab. https://youtu.be/lfqlYC_jsL8 I pulled the fill cap while it was running, engine hot, and the smoke does puff out, if you out your hand over the hole you can feel the gasses pulsing out which I'm...

I guess I'll order up the IP seals then. I'm gonna do the exhaust manifold test before I leave work today anyway since we have one of those IR thermometers here. Hopefully they come out similair and the HH is what's giving me all the trouble

So you think it's coming from the IP then? And I know, I drive it as little as possible but I have to get to work and this truck is all I have right now. I'm in the process of picking up a car this weekend, but until hen sadly I have no choice.

Ok so I'm looking for a cylinder that's cooler than the rest. Will do, I'll report my findings/test results later today

It doesn't look too thin yet, but the level has definitely risen since I changed it. It doesn't smell either. For the exhaust manifold temp check, should I drive the truck around and get it hot before checking it, or should i just start it up and see which cylinder ports heat up quicker and...

Oil is all clean, just a little dark. The FDC was already bypassed when I got it, so sadly I know it won't be that easy. The flame heater has also been disconnected. I'm gonna try cracking the lines later today when I get home, as well as checking the exhaust manifold temps. I'll try to get a...

Ill try to get my hands on one of those thermometers tomorrow, along with a video. In regards to the injectors lines, I'm not sure I'll look tomorrow, I just found it strange how fierce the difference was. The blowby looked somehat heavy for what it should be, and I checked the oil again a...

I had kinda figured this noise was normal, as I've had some other diesels that made a similar noise, but after asking a few people who said that doesn't sound right for a deuce, I got a little concerned. I searched on here some and I found an old thread about somebody's LDS (my truck also has an...

Well I know everyone hates a story with no ending, so here it is. For the VIN check, Torrello tire in East Haven CT will do it for 10$, no DMV inspection or anything which means more time saved and no chance of being hassled about a rear bumper or anyhting. After that I went to old saybrook DMV...

I have those tires on my A2. Love them, and they ride pretty **** smooth too not a lot of bouncing up and down, maybe I just have an unusually good set, look great on it regardless.

The vin check shouldnt be bad, I'm gonna go to a local place that my boss got his 900 series checked at, he said they don't really care much about anyhting except that the serial #s match. Once that's done I guess we'll see how many tries it take at the DMV before I get plates.

Yes I have the title and registration as well as a bill of sale from the last guy. CT doesn't require a title of it's over 21 years old but having one makes it a bit easier.

It also seems to depends greatly on which DMV you go to as well as how you do it. I talked to my boss today, and he just registered his m931. He registered it at somewhere around 24k lbs and was able to get a normal non commercial classic truck plate. He also agreed that what they're telling me...

I'm in CT. According to the CT DMV a CMVis anyhting over 26k or used for hazmat or as a school bus. My truck is nwtiher, nor is it used for any type of business or profit, or any type of interstate commerce. I tried making that clear to the DMV worker, that it's under 26 and I only intend to use...
