Yes sir you hit the nail on the head when you predicted the bent rod. I would love to do the Big Cam swap but just cant do it right now it will have to be a later project after my shop is built. So fixing this one is what I will have to do for now. At least I know it will be right when it goes...

Simp, Shoot me a PM with payment info and I will get the rod from you. Thanks for the help!

Thanks Simp! Any idea on a good place to get a replacement rod? Are the Big Cam and Small Cam rods the same?

Was able to get the motor tore down this weekend. Found the head gasket had blown on the number 5 and 6 causing a bent rod on number five. Is there a certain rebuild kit preferred more than others or are all the kits sold pretty much the same quality? I will be changing the head bolts on that...

Thanks Silverstate, - After finding the rust hole on the bottom side of the filter canister I have ordered a new complete canister. I have drained the fluids from the Diffs and did notice some water in the fluid. I am in the process of getting the retaining nut sockets to remove the bearings...

This is the same truck I have had for the last 2 years and yes it does have a fording kit on it. Not sure if its an ex Marine Corp truck but the kit is there and works. Would love to do the big cam swap just not sure if I want to get that deep in to it right now. Plus I have no idea what engine...

We did not need to be rescued we made it out with the family we rescued just fine. Been doing rescues for a long time.

I understand that but had to use what we had in the situation.

Yes if I start truck now it still blows excessive white smoke.

Yes motor starts right up and runs fine with no internal abnormal noise. The truck wasn't that hot for very long so I am hoping nothing is hurt in the bottom end. I will pull the heads and check from there. If there is more damage do you have any idea what a total rebuild cost?

Ok guys we were hit pretty hard in the Southeast Texas area with Tropical Storm Imelda. When the storm hit I used my A1 to do some emergency rescues due to flooding in our area. It did good all day until we had to go in some water about 48" deep a little over the air filter canister under the...
