They make this florescent dye stuff that turns a certain color if it detects combustion gasses in the cooling system, I would start with that to see if you have a seeping gasket somewhere.

That guy has some good vids. No bs, just let the camera do the work. Yeah no kidding about Mack vids, seems like all of the Mack wizards are camera shy. Joey, Freightrain, or someone on here is gonna have to step up and invest in a camera

Dang AI garbage. Need to make a video about the subject myself I guess, find a motor with a hole in the block and tear it down. Those are at least my favorite type of vid

On paper GM does not really exist anymore. Shares only the name since the bankruptcy. Plus they don't make any of their own parts like they used to. A good vid on that 3.0 diesel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3g79j56AO3A Funny how the timing chains are more likely to fail then that wet oil pump belt.

I wonder what the logistics of making those US missiles is. Assembled in US I am sure, but you've got to wonder where all those components are coming in from. 25 years ago it seems like we had a heck of a lot more manufacturing capacity than we do now. But what do I know

Closest thing we get to that in the US that I can think of is the Tahoe with the diesel. Have not seen one yet

This one?

Thanks for sharing all that Paul. Keep the pics coming!

Ever think about putting it up on Bring A Trailer? I’ve heard it can be a lot of work, but it might be the best way to get the price you want. Too big of a glut with anything IH in my area, and often times the $1,500 truck will run just as good.

At the start of the week it was hot and had a massive fire, by the end of the week its cold with a chance of snow. I don't really like either option. Something like 230,000 acres burned but thankfully we didn't loose much of importance. Some neighbors lost a good amount of cattle unfortunately.

At first I thought it was storage but how on earth do you get up there?

Is that a aircon unit on the top of that MH? Also did I hear that right when he said $25,000 for a Volvo?! Wowee that seems like a lot of money for the early 80s.

Some of the newer John Deere choppers use v12 Liebherr engines. Never been around one Took a look at that GMC V6 this weekend, 67Rmodel was dead on with the location of the number but it took some scraping to read. 401M is what it said but still not sure what M or "magnum" means. It would be a cool motor to swap into something but the Allison auto trans in it is way too huge for a pickup.

Have one of those giant GMC gas V6s sitting in a truck, don't remember what ci it was. My uncle told me that the gas v6s were basically built to be diesels so they'll last forever. Must not have been a very good diesel though from what I've heard. Oh the topic of air-cooled Duetz; never knew you could get them from the factory in trucks here. Up until 96 you could get them in gleaner combines but they were hated by most. Twin turbo air-cooled V8 was just too strange for farmers, they had to be kept CLEAN which isn't easy to do on a combine. Parts and service were also terrible so many got junked or cummins swapped if they really like the machine. At least they sounded cool

This was the style I was wanting to replace it with: The one on my 285 doesn't feel like it's doing much. This type always worked well on JD stuff
