Not much. At a restaurant called twin peaks. Ice cold beer and "scenic views"

Any update on the super duty you are looking at?

Dealing with a crack head sucks.
Somehow the turbo got bent inside.
Me thinks starting fluid may have played a roll, but he says no.
Bout done, looking for something else unless he comes around
Found this little gem for you tho.......
If I were going to build one, this would be it

So that Ford has a cracked head and he still wants premium money for it?

I can't think of another reason for a turbo to bend.
Probably a whole bunch wrong.
I'd shove a crate motor in it if I got it for a good price

Hard to tell. Those vgt turbos had some issues. Heat and dirt where big problem s. Cracked head could result from our over heating or a blown head gasket.

Or lots of starting flud streaching the head bolts.

My buddy told me he was sure the fuel gelled in it overnight that night, temp was -17*, and he didn't plug it in to start it. Went through a set of batteries trying to start it.

Diesel and starter fluid don't mix!

The old 2 stroke Detroits loved it.

The newer 4 stroke modern diesels, not so much
