I bought the truck to resell,Already have $10k in the truck.It wont be cost effective to swap engines or fix this one.I have a m932a2 I might put the bed on it.To busy to pull the engine apart.

several of the other members had mentioned trans stuck in both hi/lo, and your problems started when you put the truck in gear...got me wondering if it was the trans having an issue...with the lock up conv it would hold the engine tight...maybe rock the longbar back and forth and have someone watch the trans output shaft to see if it moves also...or make sure the torque conv turns free...put truck in neutral and tow for few feet forward and reverse to make sure trans is not locked...tough job when everything weighs triple digits...got my fingers crossed for a fellow dump!

Well, sorry to hear that it was locked engine. I have always loved the 5 ton dumps. It's what I drove as an E3, E4. Old school but loved that it was power steering vs. the old deuces. Is it an A0, A1, or A2? If it has ABS I want that rearmost air relay for sure. I put a pic on my want ad. Give me a day or two and I should have a list made up. Wish you were in western Pa. List would be longer.
