Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I think the front axle is worth nearly a grand. Dana 60. I have an 04 F350 that I love so I hope daughter can get it fixed. She sounds like a tough chick!

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Well, I did a bit of internet research (like 5 minutes!) and found an oil analysis place right there in Grand Rapids!
So by next week she will know if the engine is any good. Also, this came out today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpEk1FOxB0Q They pushed the roof back up with their feet!

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
What a mess! I'd never trust that again in a rollover.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
The one that rolled over and got the roof pushed back by the people. I'll admit that I FFWD some of the video, though. Maybe what I watched wasn't what you were talking about. I don't generally watch videos that long (or in general), due to the amount of yakking going on.

I think my daughter's Ford is fixable though not to look pretty again, but only if the engine isn't damaged from running upside down for we don't exactly know how long. I have serious doubts that her engine is any good now. Just because it started up and ran okay for a little while doesn't mean the bearings/crank aren't damaged and it won't seize up or start knocking in a few miles or days or weeks. But I guess I'm some sort of scrooge for thinking that way

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
i bought a soft rollover from the parents of the kid that rolled it, ran upside down till the gas ran out, which is pretty soon with where the pickup is in the tank. filled the intake tube absolutely full of engine oil. drained all that, filled the crankcase. that truck ran for me for 5 years and another 3 for a friend.
I say run it.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I’ve got a 6.0 Chevy that ran upside down for a short time... it’s getting a stroker bottom end because the rods and crank are both trash... it doesn’t take long for the damage to be done.

If it was an old Chevy six I would say worst case scenario would be just drop the pan and slap in some new rod/main bearings. Hopefully she will get the oil analysis back by the middle of next week.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Don't blame me. She didn't ask me before she bought it last year. But a 2002 in near perfect condition with only 90K miles sounds like a good deal. Come to think of it, I think our fire department F-550 has a V-10 in it. No engine problems yet but I don't think it even has 20K miles on it yet.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
Of course the old carb engines would just die when they rolled over.
We never had any trouble* with the engine in the VW that rolled several times and landed on its side. No clue if she shut it off or not. One side sure smoked at first when we righted it and started the engine. I crawled in the window and drove it home. It sat on its side for an hour or two because some busybody called HP to come way the heck up there in the mountains I never tipped anything in spite of all the crazy places I drove. There's a wood cutting and fence access trail our our property where I drive the GMT400 pickup with no problem, but there's enough sidehill that I'm not sure I would take the 4runner up there. The jeep would be just fine though because it's not nearly so tall. * well, other than the typical VW crap

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
So, does anyone know of a body repair person in western Michigan that would take on this project for a reasonable price?
The truck isn't really driveable because of no windshield but it could be driven up on a trailer to transport it? Otherwise - she's looking for another pickup out west somewhere like Colorado and drive it home. She has a childhood friend on the west slope that she is flying out to see in a couple weeks. I suggested a 7.3 p/s this time if she wants another Ford. She found another 2002 in GJ with a 7.3, full crew cab, and short bed. She's talking about selling her camper.

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
She sent me a link to this pickup for sale:
https://grandrapids.craigslist.org/c...267957042.html She decided to sell her cabover camper but I told her that I think a 2500 would be better for towing a horse trailer. I must admit that the Dodge 5.7 is probably better than the GM 5.3 - eh?

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
She's looking at this one:
https://westslope.craigslist.org/cto...279364436.html This would be a 7.3, right ???

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
She called on it and it's only a 6 liter diesel.
Are those any good at all ?????

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
I believe those are the ones with the disappearing coolant. Something about the head bolts stretching. But I'm sure someone with a better memory then me can chime in.

Fords procedure on doing heads and head bolts among other things is to pull the cab from the chassis.

If pulling the cab, might as well just move it over to her wrecked pickup, but too much money for that. Her V-10 is no great prize anyway. She actually sent me a link to a single cab 1995 K2500 with 7.4 and a/t for only $4500. It has 239K but still she could put a lot of money in it for that. I told her that I would buy it for myself if it had a 5.7 and five speed

Re: Parting Out versus Scrap
This is pretty much the exact truck i have been looking for other than the 2" body lift. Not sure why they needed that. The 8.1 is supposed to be close to the duramax diesel in numbers. I would not be afraid of it.
