Well guys, I'll be honest. I've had a few slight hicups with this truck and have come across ANOTHER car I am interested in, so I am not sure I need to have another truck at the moment, one that needs work to boot.

Now for the bad. I sent in an oil analysis report and here are the results. I see no coolant in the oil though. Dipstick looks perfect, as does oil fill cap. No oil in coolant. Truck runs awesome, so it beats me.

ALSO. While in the middle of following Blackstone Labs recommendations, I suddenly had no forward gears while laying into the throttle. I am 100% sure the stock intermediate shaft broke (cleanly). I still have reverse, but no forward gears. The trans is currently out of the truck.

I have over $23,000 into parts on this thing and once back together, I am confident it will be a runner again. I have seemingly lost some of the original excitement and interest for this rig and it needs someone to get it back where it should be. I am being totally honest here and not trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes.

I am asking $15,000 for EVERYTHING mentioned above and below

A stock 47RH will go with it, as well as a new 12v standard bore block, a 12v short block, 12v head thats almost new and has titanium keepers and retainers + 60 lb springs, new balanced crank, and extra ppump injection pump

Please call me or text me with any questions or more pictures (I have a bunch) at 814-460-3465. My name is Devin. Truck is located in Clearfield, PA 16830. Thank you

The transmission is out of the truck and it has a broken intermediate shaft. It broke cleanly. The truck and every part mentioned is located at my house in Clearfield PA 16830. Any questions, ask away...
 
Well... let's rephrase... are you willing to trade and add cash?
 
I am also interested in a possible parts trade etc for a nv4500 or 5600. I'm considering making this a standard
 
Silicones a bit high. Suspect an inefficient air filter. Take the intake tube off and check for fine dust at the turbo inlet.

Mediocre zinc in the highly touted Brad Penn, and not a very robust additive package at all. Modern diesel industry marketing at its best...it's no better than WalMart oil like Rotella.

Good luck with the sale/trade. :Cheer:
 
The engine oil cooler could be suspect for the coolant in the oil. When sampling mine a few years ago, trace amounts of antifreeze showed up. After looking back over pictures of the original head gasket replacement, my oil cooler looked like this and I didn't give it any thought then.

After a new oil cooler, oil change and sample, no more antifreeze.

Just a thought.
 
I think you showed me that before. If it requires it, that'll be the first thing I'll address. I appreciate your help sir
