I hear ya BOB, i know its nice to be free but it does get lonely after awhile. Anyways did you have any luck selling that engine of yours? and how is the cat engine replacement going for you.

Nice looking ride MonsterMan, so you drove it back from the drmo yard, i always wondered how guys did that without any tags, do you just drive them anyways? Yeah i know silly question. But for sure nice ride, im jealous i want mine running now dang it.. ahhh patience i keep telling myself..

Hmmmm, guess i will have to check and see, wonder if there is a way to check a vin number on one of these trucks through either dmv or possibly carfax....

Was curious as to the problems i might run into, as the truck i have i just bought from a guy that had it, his brother ran the truck for a ski resort but after the college kids shot ether to the engine it began to knock, so im not sure if the ski resort still has the papers on the truck or not...

Was wondering if the torq specs for the LDT engine are available, is everything on the engine standard as far as from a nut and bolt aspect. the engine i have is a 84 build. Thanks guys if no rain tomorrow i will get the first chance to really look at what i have. going to walmart and get film...

Hey Hot Rod, thanks for the information, yeah those turbo's are not cheap and neither is a pump but with all the parts from my engine this im sure is going to be doable. Yeah if i lived much much closer your engine for sure would be a great deal for me but with my work schedule and other stuff...

Well i have still been unable to get to the engine, but hopefully this week, i hate nite shift and 12hrs on top of that. I did notice some rust on the inside after i took the oil filler cap off, if its not to bad could i just pull the valve covers and brush it off and use a air hose to get rid...

That has me to thinking once i get the engine redone and other things here and there, Hmmm lets see technically i don't have to have a building permit to work on the deuce and would make a great hunting camper.. Oh lordy i have other ideas going thru the head and haven't even gotten to work on...

thanks DS, i will get a good used one, and possibly find someone to rebuild the old one that has the right stuff to do it with..

maybe thats the best thing right now, no little lady to contend with but im sure that will change someday, better get the toys while i can...

THANK YOU THANK YOU.... Its so much easier when you just admit you have a problem right LOL>...

Im one step ahead of ya there Sgt. i actually checked with saturn and they have turbo's, i was just needing the feedback from the experts as im still a novice and learning about these engines and truck, but the neighbors better hope i never win the lottery, cause im wanting a 5 ton real bad...

Would it be better to try and find a good used turbo or just get a rebuild kit for a Turbo for the LDT engine, the propellar shaft bearings are worn out, shaft has alot of play... Haven't had a chance to tear into the engine i got but its going to be a adventure and i look forward to getting it...

Thanks Loose Deuce, Yeah if i don't find any metal,which is unlikely, sure i will find some. But if not that will be great. The bearing aren't that expensive actually. Im thinking of getting the coolant system cleaned out first, then taking care of the starter area, then move on to the fuel...

Thats the LDS i had found also, i searched every crack of my monitor but from the here it looks really well, just to far away for me to travel and with work schedule its hard to do. Good luck on the engine and i hope its a runner for you.

Thanks there Da Sgt, the engine is still mounted in the can, pulling the valve covers is a must then i see, im not sure about being able to get that oil pan off and it still in the crate can, any suggestion, of course if i can get the pan off while still in the can i can use a search mirror to...

<img src="emoticons/icon_smile_cool.gif" alt="Cool"> Okay got the ldt engine setting at the house, the data plate shows a date of 1984 as build year. Of course the removal of an and all rust that can be seen along with cobwebs that may be hidden, seems that the crankcase has been drained which...

Will try to take the pictures, i do not have a digital camera so that might be a problem. But the LDT engine is about complete, just needs starter, air compressor and a few more odds and ends from my busted block engine, which all the stuff works, pumps and injectors ect... I will either find...

Thank you dieselsmoke, actually the engine was delivered today it has the injector pump on it, the top part where the injector lines go in which are in the circle patter on top of the pump, that is what has to be replaced, my engine with the hole in block is going to make a great parts engine as...

Hey fella's was just wondering how hard its going to be to install the injector pump(drivers side of engine)from my old engine to the donor engine thats arriving today? I think i read somewhere about there being a timing notch or point on the gears to align up... any help is greatly...
