I just got a killer deal on a 6.5 , 95 180 k, im planning on putting another engine i have in it, but here are the sympoms, it was blowing smoke, the owner said, it was losing power, and then died. it would not restart. I checked the oil, and its about 4 " above full, no water in the oil, it seemed kinda gummy. MY thoughts were a leaky injector, but as i said it seemed kinda gummy and thick. I pulled the glow plugs on 6 and 8 and they had oil on them. what are your guys thoughts, it has sat for about 3 years. the truck is mint with brand new 4" stainless exhaust which hasnt even been mounted yet , and new heads about 10k miles ago, i paid about the same amt for the truck as the exhaust would cost. Im not worried about swapping engines, but was wodering if its worth my time to try to get the old one going first
any thoughts are appreciated.
