Helping a local guy with his truck

[tree98]

He recently bought a 2014 pete 388 cm2350 w/500k mi. straight truck with a brine tank that he wants to put a log loader on and turn it into a log truck.

He mentioned to me that it was demandated so I informed him about the bad delete plague that's worse than covid and that he should get the program looked at asap.

He asked the seller who did the demandate and was told piss poor power did the work. I told him it's definitely bad if that's who did it but let's get it verified and then you'll see why these bad deletes are no joke.

I ran down the list of things he's gonna need to do just to the engine

Rebuild fuel pump (he took the head off and no damage inside) parts are ordered.

Hollow out the cans as I'm sure they didn't do much if anything to them.

Install block plates

Change imap, exhaust pressure sensors

New balancer

Set overhead

Run leakdown test after pump is back together then fix leaks.

etc.

I also mentioned maybe getting a block test kit and checking for combustion gases in the coolant before going to crazy on the engine because it might already have a dropped liner in which case it's gotta go down to Georgia.

So we'll see what Rawze says about the program, I sent it over this morning, although I think I already know the verdict.
