Well, finally got her running. Sorry Jesse, due to limited budget, I did not get the special head gaskets. I found a crack in the old engines' intake, but needed the coolant crossover tube (?) because the newer one was different. I did find one exhaust stud broken in the '04, but it backed out fairly easily, also changed out the coolant tube running beneath the intake. She runs a little rough at idle, I'm hoping a couple tanks of fresh fuel will take of that. When I finally started it, it ran but wouldn't go, so I pulled all the codes, and thanks to FTE, replaced a fuse for the trans., and she runs strong. All in all, truck is under $2500.
Thanks all, Ed.
Thanks all, Ed.
