the engine is a big cam iv i think low flow or something like that.when i bought it the guy gave me a rebuild kit with 3 heads becouse it had so many miles on it.also got an extra set of jakes for it.oh well it don't eat so it can sit untill needed. Walt

4 should have the press fit liners. Decent motor once you convert it back to high flow

Hi Medicine Man,
In regards to your son and his dental problems, wanted to give you a heads up on a program called "AllKids Healthcare Programs for Families" that various states have setup to keep kids insured when parents cannot afford it. They cover dental, optical and medical with no co-pay and depending on your income could be only $10/month for each child. It just involves filling out the paperwork and you could be covered in a matter of 2-4 weeks. In fact, they cover up to two weeks prior to your application if you qualify. I know Illinois is involved in this program and it is great but I'm not sure about Texas. Maybe have your wife call the County or nearby medical center to lead you in the right direction. The phone number I have is 877-805-5312 which I think might be nationwide. Anyway, good luck and all the best. I know you are struggling right now but you KNOW you can do this.
Steph

thanks, i appreciate it

Way to GO!!!!!!!!!!! I sure would like to hear what you find working with Landstar I have heard good things and I am considering looking into them as well! That is really cool what you did with your truck! I know it will work out for you...Please let me know how it goes! I am in FW,TX.

I don't know if I'd put a flatbed on with LS right now, especially in fort worth. or anywhere in tx it seems. Brondrider pulls flat for LS he knows it better then I do. I like to close doors

i agree with the comment the c 12 is a dam good engine imo...i had them under the hood of many trucks and millions of miles,you just have to get used to crawling up the grades...
