81cr450:
3-4 years ago we were buying 7.3 heads 5 sets at a time, they were all coming in cracked but we could pull the used injectors & ebay them for more than what we were paying for the heads by a bit. We bought like 20 heads & got one good set. We have 2 7.3 powerstrokes sitting on pallets Industrial Injection sent down to build but they're just sitting because of cracked heads. I'm just the dumb laborer that puts this stuff together but what I've seen aint pretty. No airs I drive an old wood panelled wagon that needs paint. I love fords 6 speed zf ,HUGE beast, dana 60's atleast on both ends but internationals motor
No auto dodges for sure. Dodge cant do them. Avoid 98-04 24v motors UNLESS theyre the HD model , heads crack pretty bad on the non HD.
Just didnt want to come across like I was peeing on your dream I know youve been looking for awhile. That is low miles for sure

You haven't lived until you have had to "waste" $60 to smog a diesel........and the smog check is this........VISUAL for modifications, LOOK for a check engine light and rev truck to 1500 rpm then floor it to LOOK for black smoke.

If I'm reading this link correctly 1997 and older diesels with a GVWR of more than 14,000 don't need to be smogged. Here is the link from California DMV.......

Part of reason I want a 3/4 ton
turdle:
my soninlaws family uses cummins.diesel power did an arcticle on one of his cousins trucks two years ago.from listening to those guys, my next truck will be a 97 or 98 12 valve.5 speed manual,they ere 100% mechanical 0 electronics.those years have the most desireable pumps according to my soninlaw.30 + mpg and over 1k ftlbs tourque , and be able to run on almost any type of oil [you might have to do a little of your own refining] sounds like the ticket for me :-)
