A little lesson and a very neat video.
this is why we have tsb's

with that said if you can make the temp gauge follow the boost gauge your more then likly behind the magic 8 ball, and the 8 ball says remove heads.

 

i love the magic 8 ball. they work wonders. i dont mind facing the facts on this one its just part of it and it doesnt get me down just hoping i could avoid it. so right now ill just assume they are gone. i appricate all the info guys!

 

ok cheezit i watched the video and posted before i read the thread. i started this truck and within a min of starting it the truck had pressure like no other in the system. my mechanic has that same pressure tester that he will let me borrow. i understand that this truck might not do it but its def worth a shot. 300 bucks and my time is a heck of a lot cheaper than 1500 and my time plus pullin the cab. im going to prepare myself for the worst but hope for the best! great video cheezit!

 

ok guys the deal fell through i think the kid wanted drug money or something and didnt want the bank knowing about the truck nor did he want to pay taxes so i just let it go! i wasnt about to get into that. im lookin at another one that i dont have to do anything to execpt turn around and sell so i think ill go that route until i can find someone that has the title in their name and will answer when i call. thanks for all the info guys if nothing else i learned how to determine if the gaskets are blown as well on my next flip!

 

finding trucks worth the investment to flip is hard. Of corse I dont look for the small money flips nother better then a truck for under 2k that needs an engine for fast profits.
