I would love for those part numbers and actual year if you could BBforks. That would help tremendously. I read after making the post that the water in the oil isnt usually due to a headgasket. I just assumed and jumped to the compression testor. Which was good or id never have saw that valve..

So I guess my next question would be is how do I get the mixer to pull a vacuum? Ive been cranking the motor all afternoon and have yet to smell a hint of lp.

Kevin this message boards is kind of anti pictures they dont use bb code like most others. You actually have to write out the html

mrfixit yes I did drag the lift home with that van. My bhole was puckered the whole time. I pulled it up on the trailer out of loose sand with the forks dragging with a 12k winch that was barely doing it. The trailer was fine. The truck on the other hand... way to under powered I only had maybe a 9-10mile trip never went over 40. Had the brake controller maxed out on the trailer too.

Makes me miss my old 7.3 f250 that thing would pull anything.
