How do I find the serial number? I don’t remember a wear sleeve being on there. Everything is at the machine shop right now so I won’t be able to check it again

I didn’t think the cranks were different, just wasn’t sure if someone offered an aftermarket one. I’m not sure what all was done to his motor or what he was doing when it snapped. I’m hoping to turn 4500+

Does anyone know if there is an upgraded crank for 7.3s? I’ve looked and looked but I can’t find anything. A guy I know snapped his turning 5k and I’d like to be able to spin around that on the track. I’ve thought about getting it cryo’d but there seems to be a lot of uncertainty and unknowns...

Lol reading the stick was the hardest part of it

I know that feeling

had a chance to check it out today. rookie mistake, it was just low on fluid. whoops. oh well, still got a filter and fluid to change it this coming weekend. hoping that helps the other issues.

you ever do anything with this?

oh and its a 4x4 97. im sick of this tranny, if anyone has a 5 or 6 speed you wanna sell let me know. im in western ohio during the week and western PA on the weekends, so closer to that would be best

ive searched a bit and found a few things similar to my situation, but nothing the same. got in my truck today, started just fine and let it warm up a minute or two, then i put it in drive and it idled down to 300ish like it was gonna stall. blipped the throttle and it sounded like it was gonna...
