x2 on that. most rebuilders will put on their own badge. that one has either been replaced by the authorized rebuilder as stated above OR whomever rebuilt it didnt label it.

I thought it was rebuilt. All of those red screw locking blobs seem like a dead giveaway. I have no clue when it was rebuilt, though. I think the truck has 150K on it but I need to do a car-fax to find out for sure. If my U-haul pump doesn't act any better after timing, the old pump is going back in. I hate to do it but I need a running truck, not a parking lot ornament. When I get my timing meter, some time this year, I will set the timing and hopefully the truck will run better.

I don't know if they came from the factory that way but the paint (blobs) are so that if tampered with it will show by breaking the paint witch is a special formulation just for that purpose It is fairly common in a lot of industrial situations where you need to know if someone has messed with an adjustment and will often void the warranty if the seals are broken or missing. it also tells if the adjustment has been tampered with after it left the shop.

could be all of those things or a guy and a paint pen/model paint to make it seem it was rebuilt. to set the timing by ear, or my method is to have a little rattle at idle when warm but if i rev slightly it evens out and rattle goes away. My EGT's are solid, mpg is 17, and truck can slip sideways on dry pavement. Granted i dont get 17mpg when jackassin around but you get the idea.
