Trashed the cps by getting it wet, but after swapping that and giving her an oil change it seems like all is well. Perfect oil pressure and good power....
Nice. I wonder how many engines could take that kind of abuse. Lol

Same thing. For the front heat the bolts up and you'll need an impact gun. And the leaf spring bolts just melt the bushings out cause its the sleeve that the bolt is rusted into

I think I was very lucky. The cylinders were full of water... Would have loved to change the oil right there but I didn't have a container to drain it into. Makes me wonder why I was carrying 6 qts of oil... But yes, for an engine with 192k on it to lock up tight and then get you home after a quick trail fix really says something for the 4.0.
