new here, 1009 has bad crank, need new motor or rebuild

[REGULATOR]

Just bought a 1984 1009, the motor turned over but wouldn't start, well looks liek the cranshaft is bad after inspection with the oil pan removed.

So do I attempt to buy a 6.2 on GL ( not knowing what exactly shape its in)
seen plenty for sale in Ohio,

Or do I shell out the bucks for a rebuilt or tested motor?

Diesel Fixers 6.2 and 6.5 engines has some motors and is in TN



I'm in Augusta GA, and I either need to fix this in the next month, or let it sit for 6 months while I am deployed.




any suggestions?

I can get you a crank. pull the motor and rebuild it. easy enough.

Does it have spun bearings or a cracked crank? If the crank is cracked or split, it may have done some main web damage. GL is a crapshoot. It might be worth it for one to buy that tested used $895 motor. They take all the risk out of it for you!

yeah I was thinking GL could be hit or miss, maybe gold, maybe lead.

I did not spend hardly anything to buy this truck ( obviosuly with a potentially blown motor)

so I can get a rebuilt, or tested motor and still be within budget.

has anyone purchased a used motor?

wondering if its just worth it to go ahead and by a rebuilt one for 1500 and know that its good for a while.


new motor and some tires and I'm good 'cept lots of cleaning.

I got a new 6.2 in the can for 150 bucks.. there out there. but if you dont know its a good one rebuild it.

 

[REGULATOR]

right, figured I'll have plenty of other things to fix later

might as well start out with a proffessional built engine , the rest of the stuff I can work on in the driveway ( no real garage to pull it into at the house)

Good to hear, I would have grabbed both of those motors if they were not 3000 miles away right now.

I think you missed the part about him having 30 days to get it running...

Can you Pm Me the details I may want to get the info to a friend of mine for the other motor. Thanks

 

[REGULATOR]

drove to Charlote and back, retieved the motor and dropped it off at the mechanics..

hopefully have a running truck soon!!!


Oh and I will probably have some leftover parts, intake manifold, basically almost an entire engine minus a crankshaft

almost an entire engine minus a crankshaft

There is a good chance the crank took out the block with it, but other than that the rest of it should be reusable.

the mechanic seemed to think that it was still good, that I could buy a crank and rebuild the lower end...


BUT for the amount that woudl have cost, and payign somebody to pull the motor out etc, easier and quicker to swap in another motor.

I may attempt to rebuild this motor, and maybe build it up for a turbo install if I get really crazy...


I can't have a non runnign vehicle in my driveway ( not enought space) and not much room in my garage , although I could squeeze in an engine stand in the corner etc.. just not enough for a whole project vehicle.


If I had the room I would have rented/bought an engine hoist and done the whole swap myself.
