I know I'm a low poster but I assure you this motor is very real, as am I. Lol
I've been around the diesel scene and forums since ~2008 but never joined CompD until now and I regret that. But I digress.
I'm selling my '97 motor that I was going to use in my project 1st gen. It was from a manual 2wd 2500 farmers truck. I was going to do a full rebuild, but everything was still in spec (pistons, cylinder walls, bearings, etc.) once it was all torn down. The cylinder walls still had prominent cross hatches. I have pictures of all the measurements. So I didn't want to spend $ where it wasn't needed. I'm a mechanic for our construction business and get to work on/rebuild everything from weed wackers, concrete pumps, 6.hOs, to ISX Cummins. So this was an easy one. All machine work was done in our machine shop. But I did replace all gaskets from the bottom to the top with all Cummins gaskets. Literally every sealing part was replaced. From oil plug to injector o-rings.
-New rear main seal.
-Head was checked for flatness and cracks.
-New Cummins head bolts torqued to 150lbs "Garmon method".
-New alternator
-New thermostat
-New updated valve stem seals
-KDP tabbed
-It will need a harmonic balancer, it works, it's just on its last leg. I didn't want to buy a new Cummins balancer in case the buyer wants a fluiddamper.
-I've got the radiator, a/c cond, IC and all their respective tubing. If you don't want them, knock off $500.
-I can add/modify any parts if needed.
-Every piece was removed, blasted, and hi temp painted.
It starts and runs awesome and I regret selling it, but the money is going towards my wife's TMJ (jaw) bills.
I've got a buyer local that wants it, but the only way he'll buy it is if I swap out his bad motor for him. So I'm offering it to y'all to maybe save me a lot of work.
I'll deliver free if it's within 350-400 of Borger TX. PM me or text 806-898-0167 24/7.
Call anytime after 4pm
$5,000
Thanks, Ben
