That's what I'm thinkin .... :D Yeah - that's why I posted it - didn't want ya (or anybody else) to waste the fuel. Heheheh ... :p I'm considering just making my own - I got some chunks of left-over E-track up in the shed ..... shouldn't be too hard to weld something up .... Probably...

Harley, Glad to hear you found a solution ! What was the final cost on the engine if you don't mind my asking ?

The sales fellow from Lodi Metals just called back - they are declining to sell them - it appears that there is some sort of issue (patents or whatever) :rolleyes:

:D Interestingly, I just called them ..... and the guy I got told me they really no longer sell them ...... as they believe they might be patented .... :eek: He did say however that they may have a few left if I wasn't looking for a large quantity .... waiting for a call back right now with...

Thanks for the update ! Looks like you possibly have several options - hope ya get up and running quickly !

You and I are of like mind in regards to that (imagine that ! :eek: :D) It is .... however, clearly it is not a perfect document .... (otherwise we wouldn't find ourselves in the soup) Well said !

One never knows when the knowledge, experience, and understanding that is gained in such endeavors will come in handy .... like on some dark night, on the side of a lonely road, out in the middle of nowhere ... ;)

Yup - try the big (possibly green) AT style fuse on the fuse panel on the side of the driver's seat pedestal. Be aware that the fuse may look fine (not blown) when in fact it actually is - a friend ran into this - I had told him to check that fuse and he did, reporting that the fuse was ok...

Fortunately, unlike Blackwater (who has changed it's name in an effort to hide and get below the radar) she apparently hasn't been repeatedly involved in criminal activity, and the senseless killing of unarmed civilians ... Security Firm Faces Criminal Charges in Iraq Blackwater Baghdad...

Just sayin' ..... read the posts ... an 08 came up in the thread ....

Count on it .... :D Right now I'm waiting on my oldest to get off the pot and decide whether he wants to spend the money to fix his '04 ...... or whether he wants to commit to purchasing a new truck and making payments for another 4 or 5 years ..... (the latter being what he was really...

BTW, in the case of the individual with the '08 ..... it was a case of spending 4 or 5 weeks waiting (due to parts availability, lack of) and around $12,000 to have the motor rebuilt/repaired .... .... versus over $23,000 just for a new V-6 diesel motor alone (not including installation) ...

No accounting for anyone's taste in hobbies .... :D Some people like to spend their time chasing a little ball around and knocking it into holes .... Other folks might wanna be playing with Lubriplate and Plastigauge ...... :rolleyes:

Yup .... very familiar with that .... :( Interesting ...... :D Yeah .... I have a friend who has an '08 Sprinter with the V6 .... As a cause, either his timing chain broke (it was actually broken when the motor was disassembled) or what you describe above (with the sprocket/gear) happened...

You are correct ..... sorta kinda ..... the Articles of Confederation were actually the first Constitution ..... but the "country" it established, is not the same country that ultimately ended up being established .... the one we have today ..... despite the names being the same ..... It was...

..... somebody else ..... :D

No ... after the ratification and adoption of the Constitution .... The country, as an legal entity, didn't even really exist prior to that. Consider the meaning of the root of the word constitution which is constitute .... and why the above is true will become immediately apparent. At the...

In an ideal world, yeah that's true ..... however the electrical connector on the right front has, in the past, been prone to leaking .... and the pan can leak as well (right front corner IIRC) These leaks tend to be fairly small - but if you develop one out on the road, it would be nice to...

Fluid and filter is supposed to be changed every 60K miles. Yes ..... possibly about 70K miles ago ..... :rolleyes: The cost of the dipstick is around $60 at EuroParts I believe.

........ Bingo !
