Hey.

Sorry to hear of your bad luck that sucks.


What makes you say it is frozen? What may have lead up to this? Over heated, no/low on oil? Is it a 460? Think I saw that in the pictures.


It looks like a nice truck and if closer would take you up on the offer.
Good luck.

Hi,

Went to start it and it ran rough from the get go... after 4-5 seconds it stopped running. Restarted it and the engine really struggled another 4-5 seconds than quit running. After that when ever I turn the key the whole engine just klunks... I know the starter is working as I can see the engine torque on its mounts when I turn the key... just nothing.. it never turns over... just Klunk.

Oil level is good, no oil leaks. Suspect oil pump or rod had gone bad. Both are new though

Truthfully I never expected this project would take so long or be so difficult. I've flat run out of money and have higher priorities needing my $$$.

Yeah, I just need to clear my plate of projects and jobs that have been ongoing... priorities have changed.

Thanks

Rgds

Wonder if a head gasket went bad and filled a cly with water/coolant and why it locked up?


I hear you sometimes you just have to get away from a project and move on.
