Just got off the phone with Mikes father. Sounds like the whole motor might be ***'d. Without having anything off it yet, motor does not build rail pressure. #3 valves are gone. Rockers in front of it moves when it is turned over... so either broken cam or II pump is gone. Pretty sure both heads are junk too also has a cam sensor code set. hoping the hp turbo survived, but I doubt it. :wtf: :cursing: Valve covers come off tomorrow after they get done with Mauls truck.

Sorry to hear the bad news man. I don't think I really ever heard the whole story behind the break down, what exactly happened if you don't mind me asking? Either way, your in good hands an I'm sure it'll get done right. Good luck

It gets temperamental steering in parking lots running. Will have a hydro assist some day. I hate when you can't turn the wheel at all when parking.

Lost water, 230 or so, fixed it left for a 3hr drive with a sticking wg. thought it would be ok, it eventually lost power, blew out white smoke and died while coasting to a stop. Live and learn

Yeah, I had no clue about what a sticking wt could do. Just thought if I didn't drive it hard it would be fine. Was educated the first call I made after. It is my first diesel..........

Well it was really hard to drive, laggy and egt's would get crazy if you took off hard at all. Stuck open then, that day it all of a sudden drove way better. It probably moved and stuck closed so it didn't bleed any pressure off like it is suppose too.
