    I got no idea what the interior looks like but it’s worth 55 just in parts

    The 50 was a 4 cylinder 60. The 55 was a total different animal. It was a 12 liter and they were kind of a throw away engine. Didn’t sell many and they are a completely different animal

    Guess trying to save money always backfires? Put the old turbo actuator on the new turbo and it decided to stop working..:mad: so here we are waiting to programming a new actuator. Of course got to drop all the coolant once again because why not...

    Draining and refilling the coolant is my least favorite part of any job that requires it

    Speaking as a layman here of course, it’s certainly not looking truck IMHO, so if everything else is still fairly sound I’d say a new engine is worth it.
     
    cke and D.Tibbitt Thank this.

    Shop I worked at had one of these with about 15 foot of garden hose on it.
    Just drop it in the bucket of coolant, climb up and plug it in and regulate the flow by folding the hose.
    Empty the 1st bucket and drop it in the next one.
