Day off- Dismantle a 6.5 truck

[davo727]

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 pump.

Parts from this 8600lb gvw 8 lug truck that I will eventually swap to my gasser 93 C2500 7200lb 6 lug truck will be :

The NV4500 trans, the hydroboost brake sys, the 4.10 posi 14 bolt semi float rear, and the 8 lug front suspension and brakes.

The heads and hopefully if the block is good it will end up in the 92 Dually, but it will be a while as I need to move 35 miles north to my property and build a shop up there before any of these trucks get any real $ attention.

Thats what I was thinking

 

[davo727]

Ha!, Ya a stack.

I will post a pic tomorrow of the comical piping job somebody did under the truck to that stack for your amusement

 

[94K30]

Ha!, Ya a stack.

Stacks only look good in pairs

Pics of the goofy stack piping for your enjoyment

And the cat, she was tired after watching me work all day

That would make a great sticky. Previous owner FUBAR's.

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 just barely see the front of the blue 92 dually in the back. Then my gold 93 gasser, CUCV, Z71 , and the parts truck. Daughters 93 is at her house

Heck in Texas 6 AM is the best time to do any kind of outside work with the high summer heat.

Looks like fun, I have always wanted to play around with a plasma cutter. :thumbsup:

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 on my gooseneck trailer. In this pic the front of the 92 is off the ground a little, no motor or trans so its fairly light.

#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 where the main cap slips into the block so I dont think its repairable. (CRAP!!)

This is a 1992 599 block and I had hopes it would be a good one

Pic of the crack was blurred.

 

[davo727]

Heres that crack

Just out of curiousity what kind of shape was the HB in?

 

[davo727]

It looks fine, rubbers good and tight.

[davo727]

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.

 

[DEERE3594]

How in the world did a leaf get in there?

 

[davo727]

The kid had just installed a new set of clearwater heads and it must have got in there when he had it all apart.
