Well, got some bad news everyone, I'm thinking that after about 240k the block has had enough. I've been fighting an overheating issues over the past 2 weeks, have flushed it multiple times, new thermostat and gasket, checked fan and clutch and verified coolant flow. Temp is swinging up to 240f with no load on the motor within 5 minutes of starting truck. For now I am going to baby her as much as possible until I can get a teds motor.
Debating on what to do though, debating between ordering one of the center mount motors since I know they are already turbo spec and either reusing my heads or hunting down the humvee intake setup while retaining the side mount turbo, or second option is getting the n/a spec long block they have and using that.
Ideas or suggestions are more than welcome, and thank you in advance for any information y'all can provide.
