Yea, its all steel where needed for strength and then the aluminum outer for sleeve contact. That wrist pin is probably the size of a coke can. Bore about 5.5 in, stroke 6 in.
I think im gonna buy one of those pistons just to sit on my dresser and look at :)
I saw this and was impressed as hell with it.
Cummins N14 2 piece piston, 855 cubic inch 6 cyl. Probably not gonna crack the dome or ring lands off that baby.
Forgot to mention on the post mortem- there was a leaf stuck on the oil pump screen blocking at least half of it. So those front 2 rod bearings were last in line and got fried.
#1 rod bearing spun and flaking right out the side, #2 right behind it.
And of course the friggin block is cracked. One small one on a #3 outer bolt hole could be insert repaired but another crack is on #2 main web outboard of the outer bolt hole- the crack starts at the right angle recess...
The 86 M1028 CUCV got in on the action, I drug the 92 over by the ditch where I had the trailer backed into. Then pulled it onto the trailer with the 86.
I have a subframe that bolts in the bed of the 86 that a hoist bolts to. It has come in very handy. I recently used it to hang a new neck...
I couldnt sleep so at 6 am I went outside and started tearing into the truck.
Shoved the bed off over the side by myself- dont need no stinking hoist for that.
It was beat to hell so I plasma cut it into a bunch of peices for the scrap pile.
In pic 1 , 5 of my trucks are there. You can...
This ones my 92 C2500 parts truck, bought this from a kid for 1k.
He had put brand new heads on it and then it locked up the bottom end 2 weeks later.
It has a 599 block, havent pulled the pan off yet , it started raining as soon as I got the motor out. Has a good turbo and DB2-4911...
Yeah then sounds good to me, those trucks go for $2500 or so lately with the old 6.2 in them so you are close enough considering the motor that one has.
