Need all and any advice! Please look!!!
Hi everybody, needing help and advice! I have picked up a 2003 dodge Cummins SLT 6-speed! The Good: straight as an arrow, interior good, paint good, quad cab. The Bad: motor is shot, uses 2.5 gallons of oil every 3000mi!
The story: I actually owned this truck from new until 2008, sold it to my father in law with 75,000 miles, he used it in oil field work. He did not drive it hard yet he idled it 12 to 15 hrs. a day until he finally washed rings or bearings or both out at 124000 miles.
Where I need help is: I have purchased this truck back for 4,000 dollars and plan on getting it back on the road with a salvage motor. Wanting some advice on and aftermarket parts, systems, filtration (air/fuel), engineering or anything thing that needs to be done hands down to make this a solid dependable diesel that it was for me. The truck is fixing to be in the shop and i want to get everything done that i need to.
This is a great chance at a solid truck for low dollar! Oh and where to buy these parts or systems would be helpful! thank ya'll very much!
