I don't have the money to rebuild the motor, so hopefully someone can buy her and fix her up right. 213k miles.

Good Stuff:

Rear A/C compressor and new line set,
cost 1300 installed last year.
American Racing Wheels black wagon wheel.
2 like new Cooper Discover tires, 2 worn out.
KD 3.5" exhaust - 2-3 yrs old
FSD HeatSynch Cooler, PMD, and ext 2006.
2 batteries - (1) 3 yrs old, (1) last summer
Injectors about 38k miles on them.
Glow plugs they glow fine.
Front Rotors & brakes LT 1 yr old.
All Synthetic lubes in tranny & diffs.
New 7-wire receptacle for trailer.
Always ran Amsoil in the motor, except for most recent change.

Everything in truck works, except cigarette lighter.
Interior not perfect, but not trashed, either.

Bad stuff on Turbo side of motor:
2 bad exhaust valves.
Cylinder head and block slightly eroded from deformed gasket at #2.
I believe some decking would take care of it, but I have no experience in this matter.
Head may be cracked between valves in #8.
All pre-cups cracked.

PM me with any questions. No pix right now.
