when the truck was towed was it flat towed with driveshafts connected?

well again it might be the oil cooler. I would pull both lines to radiator and using very little airpressure I would plug one port with your finger and put some air to it, see if it pressurizes or just leaks into rad. Then you can get a coolant pressure tester pull the oil pan and pressurize...

depending on how the headgasket let go, or the head cracked the compression from the motor could be pushing the oil into the coolant passages, but your H?G might be fine. also the oil cooler could have a leak in it which this is a new radiator but I have seen where the tank has a small hole in...

Wheres the braket that came with it? or was it missing already? Either way the fastest place to find a braket will be a junkyard all th400's will have it 2wd and 4wd. PATC and many transmission parts places will also have but you most likely will have to order the part.

Might wanna spend a few dollars and get a pressure tester for the cooling system, pressurize the entire system then you can check for leaks and see where they are coming from. This tool is priceless for diagnostic work. If the system wont hold pressure you should visually see the coolant leak...

Could you possibly have a failing headgasket? I would look very closely at where the cyl head mates to the block.

The stadyne injection pumps are very good pumps for thier time. I have personally attested to having customers with well over 300k on them in both ford and GM trucks. What I think kills alot of the military trucks is very little use and bad fuel.

Ord is a great company, but thankfully Diy4x4 came out for people more into doing fabbin on thier own and allowing people to adjust what they are specifically looking for. I can personally vouch for both companies as producing a great product.

all this talk of 4bts got my blood going, and well I have decided to do a 4bt swap, and even have found a motor. I was able to find on craigslist a 4bt backed by a t-18 trans, best of all I am trading for it on of my spare p7100 injection pumps and a turbo i have. I now need to source a m1008...

if you want to go with a 350 small block theres one near you for 250 dollars and you can hear it run, 350 chevy engines, HEAR run! also have transmissions, 2wd and 4x4 also has a np205 case I think and a possible donor of a np208 all or parts 85 chevy 4x4

Yeah thats why i wanted you to check shipping, yellow freight, and a few others come out to the shop so you might want to also check them. Also dont over look craigslist, you can find quiet a few finds on there. For instance I just bought a dana 60 front and 14 bolt rear from a 85 1ton truck...

Thou history might be unknown that is a very clean truck. Grats on a beautiful new ride

Theres someone with screen name milkman357(i belive) who also lives in Ia he jst bought a 6.2 for 150 dollars. You would be surprised how many parts you probably could round up cheaply. He might have some left over parts. but for the transfer case sure you can have one a np208 is roughtly...

well I would take a 6.2 over the olds 350 but thats just my opinion. If your wanting a big block, dont over look the caddy 472/500 they are lighter than a 455 and produce more tq. But if your pulling a trailer often I really would have to suggest a diesel. There are alot of crate 6.5s for sale...

if it shifts fine at lower speeds, I will go out on a limb and assume your either experiencing vacum line issue, or a vacum modulator issue, or a fragged governor. So lets go diagnose this simplest to hardest. First triple check or run new vacum lines at a min put them on a vac gauge with one...

I learned many years ago about th400's and power breaking, it causes alot of stress to the low roller clutch and can wipe out a sprag or drum very quickly. But if the trans is shifting just at higher rpms I would still suspect the vacum modulator, or lines. Does the transmission shift thru...

Ive had really good luck with the a518 od thou i do wished it was a full lock up version. Yes the 1st gen diesel dodges are a very tough truck much like the cucv, just a better motor imo. I snag every one I can find, thou dont tell my wife or I would be on house arrest. its hard to beat leaf...

jst looks like they took the brush gaurd and bumpers from one and some green paint and made that. Rest of truck jst apperas to be a c-10

in my old 6bt/nv4500 truck with 33 inch tall tires at 2000rpm I was going 59 mph on my gps. and @ 22oo rpms i was at 65, 70 mph was almost 2400 rpms. I then switched to a set of 37 in tires and was able to cruise at 70 mph just barely over 2100 rpms, I found that was the best combination for me...

What do you plan on using the truck for? the 6.2 is no power house thats for sure. But depending on your use of the truck it might fit the bill just nicely. They get great economy and they can be modded to preform better thou it still wont be a powerhouse. Theres turbo kits, and a marine...
