Not every one is a junkyard jewel, open them up and check. All it might cost you is some gaskets and bolts if your lucky, i wasn't lucky..

I put a built motor in it and sold it a while back. But the original JY 6.0 I ran and sold is still in the neighborhood. Guy brings it over for mods every now and then lol.

When I saw your for sale ad I just shook my head. I would have bought that truck if I hadn't just bought my 04 and started gathering turbo parts... Oh well.

That's sucks, yea it might be worth it. I still have some parts to get so I still have time to decide.

I decided to pull it a part and everything looks good. I'm going to send the heads to the machine shop and swap some new parts in. Can someone suggest a manual for some specifics for me to read before I start assembly.
