How old is the truck. Do you have a small crack in the tank that you can't see well?

"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

Truck is in my sig. I'm pretty sure is coming out around the level sensor threads. Not sure if I didn't use enough thread sealant or that it's too old

Exactly, can't find any of the good bazooka with the Archie and jug head comics on it to use!

Had some parts that were laying around and decided to put together a lift pump set-up with auxiliary water separator and fuel filter. Just wait to install till tomorrow when my other filter comes in. At that time I'll also install my CAT 2 micron in the stock filter position. Also wired up the high idle.

The K2500 is plated for 20,000# and the '56 C6500 is plated for 17,000#. I just added it up, with the new title for the old truck, taxes and plates I dropped closer to $700
Only 25 miles from Diesel Addiction, I need to visit that shop soon, front right wheel bearing is starting to go at 170K. I'll do that myself but may want to get my old Merchant Auto tune updated.
Tried to install the new updated cab mounts on my LBZ, but couldn't get the mounts to separate from the frame or cab. Jacking up the cab just jacked up the entire truck... I soaked them in PB and hopefully I'll get to try again tomorrow
I'm home.. Truck made it plus 30 mile.. Got load off then it's basically dead... Filled up with coolant put 9 gallons through the expansion tank.. Started it up pumped oil/water out the crankcase tube.. Still not making any weird noises.
Flew home Saturday building/fixing the .040 LMM block that broke the crank in Miami. Plan right now build long block take it out swap everything haul everything back..
Heads and block got dropped off at machine shop to be checked...
Hopefully heads are still good....
If not... Going to try and get some basic entry Wagler heads which aren't much more then OEM new and he has them on the shelf.. He also has LML keyed crank on the shelf as well.
If block is bad.. Hicksville Auto has bare block that need machined for ~600
Yeah ARP bolts at both ends of the crankshaft
Keep us posted how those heads work, I'm interested in a set. Not sure if I want full ported not.
I wouldn't be having any additional porting. Done.. And valve size would be setup for STD bore capatible, for sealability reasons, Be ~3900.00, pair, for assembled bolt on ready.. New oem bare heads are 2000.00 pair plus ~1000.00 for valves and springs.. Could save some $$$ have him swap my current valves/springs into the new heads.... Some reason gut is saying I might have couple tweaked valves... Found carbon removed in the valve area on the pistons, couldn't find any indentions with a dental pick in the piston crown..
I like the thinker deck.. Less likely to distort under sustained loads.. According to Jeremy.. Stock/stock with same valves his flow better.. Too me sounds like result in better MPG cooler running engine ECT
If heads come back good.. Tranny really needs attention.. It's never been opened completely stock.. I'm sure the 4.56 gears are helping take a load off it..
Kit will be a basicl Suncoast kit with C5 red eagle/kolene steels and a Transtar A7XL TC

Just found out LML are NOT drop in capatible with LMM blocks.. So looks like getting a LBZ/LMM used crank getting it keyed and balanced
What's different about them? Seems I've read somewhere but have long forgotten

X2 I thought i have saw people putting new LML cranks in builds.
On other news I put on Beans Diesel sump in. Does any one know if the fuel return fitting(AN/JIC to NPT O-Ring Boss Fitting) on the FASS fuel system are anything special? Mine decided to strip itself out and the spring and ball fell out.
I hope i don't have to order a new fitting.Attachments
From my basic understanding main journals are smaller and needs alot of custom machine work with the older style blocks...
Maybe Mark B /Matt yellow jacket can expound on the difference
