I am new to diesel world.
I have a 1994 k3500 regular cab 6.5TD rust free perfect interior, but has significant blow by. It has over 200,000 miles or more. (Odometer was froze when I purchased it) everything is very stock. I have been doing a lot of research and from what I read It needs to be rebuilt. I would like to make it reliable and last until the body and chassis rust out. So my question is should I do it or just cut my losses and look for a gasser? I have about $5000 into truck including pmd relocation, pitman and idler arm replacement. I really want to upgrade cooling system, and exhaust. But I am worried if I put all the money and time into it with out addressing the blow by factor it would all be for not. I appreciate your thoughts and some guidance on what I should do.
