Got it taken care of!!! i was tryin to climb a four wheeler trail with an incline that was steep enough to drag my hitch on the ground when i tried to go up.....So i got a little run at it I made it though I have a feeling they were probally on their way out anyways.

went up to that mud bog, fried my cooling fan on the fifth run, and possibly cooked the motor, i haven't checked the oil, i'm afraid to. but i got my rear hitch done in time, and didn't even need it...

 

[Beef52751]

That sucks, well if you need help, i build race engines for a living

 

[redrangerry97]

ever come across an aftermarket cam for a 3.0? not that i could afford one anyway... you don't happen to know anyone personally thats located a radiator in the back of their truck, i've found some very informative threads on pirate4x4 about it, but they left me with more questions than answers.

 

[Beef52751]

There is a guy with a 7.3 Powerstroke in a mid 70s Chevy that has the radiator and intercooler in the bed. It looks like there was alot of plumbing involved!!! LOL
I havent seen an aftermarket Cam for a 3.0. 1.7 or 1.8 Roller Rockers could get you some lift though.
