Please let me know the name of the shop in Ogden. I want to get mine bulletproofed and would like to see how reasonable and reputable they are. Mine has 125,000 on it now and is running fine.

Look up Baker's Diesel in Ogden. They do good work and are pretty knowledgeable
I'll have to find the name of the shop I called. I just found it on ksl.
I talked to the tech at the ford dealer. He said he can tell from hearing it crank that it has no compression. The truck was never pulled into any bay, or even had a tool touch it.

You have to pull the grow plugs to actually test compression. Not a quick job.

To test and get actual numbers, yes, but don't you think a trained ear could tell just by listening?

No because his engine sounds like mine when it wouldn't start as well.

You should buy this and swap it in.

You have more money than me. I can tell from that one response.
Ha. I just know it will take me multiple months, and many screw ups before I get it right. If I miss 1 plug or wire, it'll take me a month to figure it out.

I would just buy a new motor and drop it in. Then sell it. you'll still make a decent profit on it.

I will get ahold of you as we get more serious about our plan for the truck. Thanks!
Theory is that the truck was drinking coolant for a while as part of a problem. The guy would just fill it with water to get it going. Problem gets too bad to drive anymore, truck gets parked full of water. Sits for 5 years and freezes over and over, cracking the block.
I have done many motor swaps and builds, but I am like 90% sure this one would be over my head.
My wife says we should pay to have a fresh motor built and put in. We would be less than $10k into the truck total, and that would include all the updates and mods needed to be a reliable truck. Her reasoning is that if this truck were for sale for $10k with a new motor and all the mods, we would buy it thinking we were getting a good deal, so why not pay it and have it?
