Nice I really like that body style. Should be a nice looking truck.

but it DOES have an ATS turbo kit
LOL as long as it has a turbo your going to drive it huh:rofl:
damn skippy! if it's not turboed...it will be when i own it :angel:
well, been tearing into it to pull the engine, and when i was under it to remove the cross-over pipe and starter, there was a couple of holes in the driver side of the oil pan...made from the inside-out

good thing your pulling the block anyway
yes!, i plan to message a few things to see if i can muster a ground breaking 200 rwhp outta this beast! :nanawrench::nanawoot:
okay, got the engine out, and partialy pulled apart to find a rod jamed inbetween another rod end/block and it appears as though the piston wrist pin boss broke, not sure if the block is trashed yet, but for sure the crank, 2 rods, one piston, cam shaft and the oil pan are done. updates as i have time, will get pics of all the carnage when i have clean hands..lol
I'd hate to see what your keyboard looks like!
lol, i have a black keyboard, so i can't tell!:angel:
aaaaarrgh! just my luck, i bought a "core" engine from a late model 6.5L and the crank in it is junk too on 2 journals FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!! i can't afford this crap, but looks as though i will HAVE to buy a new crank assy. damit.
i can't afford this crap, but looks as though i will HAVE to buy a new crank assy. damit.okay, i think i completly hate the 6.2L / 6.5L engines...they can totaly kiss my A$$, the engine i got that was a "good" running engine is junk too, i think this calls for a cummins swap
