Different truck. (Yep, there's another one that didn't make the picture!)
The F250 in the pic at the end of the lineup has an engine issue. I bought it because the body is fairly solid, and it had a fresh rebuild on the E40D and the transfer case.
Problem that it has is a 'runaway'. I suspect that what's happened is the CDR let oil through, and it's sucked some oil in, and buggered the headgasket and/or heads to a point that it needs torn down. I'm just going to pull that one out, and drop in a spare that I have here. Then that one will get stripped for parts, rather than messing around with it. If down the road someday I need to do a rebuild, I may start with that block, that's a wait and see deal though. Since I've got 4 spares if I get them all gathered up, I really can't see rebuilding one soon.
Originally I was going to use that truck just for body parts etc, but now I think I'll do the engine swap, get it running, then put it up for sale to recoup some IDI funds. Plus I'd like to get that wrecker still.......
Need another one John?

poor truck blew the radiator up...
That was the last time itll see the road.. time to be retired
The truck in my post earlier in this thread is being fixed, been spending weeks at pick n pull getting random stuff.. Including gray interior and power doors! Oh and we finaly got it running has No smoke on start up after sitting 3 years and has 420-440 psi in all cylinders.. it probably has less the 200,000 on it... a lot less
little side note.. i took so many dashes out of these truck i got so good at it that i got one out of a complete truck in 30 minutes
