Just out of curiosity, did you back the rockers off and roll it over?

I assumed this when he said they could turn it easily with the cam gear out. Who knows though. :D

I would drive that Classic over that 379 every day of the week! Even if it had Detroit power. That is gorgeous!

Funny phuckers aren't ya?!
This truck is nice but it turns like arse, the inside layout of the cab is probably my least favorite in a truck period, and this Detroit is slightly wore out. It is a nice truck though.
If I had big long runs, this truck would be awesome, but the hills of Arkansas on short trips don't like it.
I hate the cab setup.

And my truck broke a pusher axle. Thank you very much lol

I hate to say it but I agree with you on this one here. That's a slick truck!!! And for some strange reason I'm really liking the dark green color. Not a bad "backup" truck at all. Most backups I've ever had to drive were hardly road worthy, much less that sharp.
 
I'm going to try starting an old cab over for the first time in at least 6 years. Cummins 855 fleet 300. Already have a freshly charged set of batteries, drained old diesel out of the tank, put new filters on, and made sure there were no obstructions in the line between the filterhead and PT. Turbo did not turn by hand, but broke free easily with a ratchet. Appears to be a little rust scale in the turbine housing that had been holding up the wheel.

Any other tips before hooking up the batteries and seeing if it'll start?
 
Pull the plug out of the bottom rear cover of the pump to drain the fuel out of the pump body.

Have a steel plate ready to snuff the turbo out if it takes off.

Check the oil, and the most important thing is VIDEO!

I have a chunk of apitong decking that's a good size to cover the turbo inlet

Should I try to refill the pump after draining it?
