well heck...well this was short lived....

Well i went and picked up my 86 ram 50 custom. I drove it from gravette Arkansas to tulsa ok. And the engine is knocking. The long it runs the louder it gets...

[royster]

Oh no...that's terrible.

Hoping for the best, but one to face reality, too. BEST of luck, Mitch, and keep us posted. You certainly have sympathetic friends here.

[Mitch4712]

Thanks. I bought the truck from my uncle.. hes coming down this Thursday to pick it up and bring my money back.

[BradMph]

Nice of your uncle to do that for you as well. Sometimes family isn't so helpful when money is in between. Well, I guess you need to start looking for another Ram50 huh? :)

Too bad - that truck was clean. He is not going to scrap it is he?

[mikewarme]

Pennyman most people that can't fix these trucks for $50 seem to scrap them. Pretty sad. That looks like a real clean truck.

[Fordubishi]

Mitch tell your uncle you'll take $1000 back he can keep the $500 for the scrap value and go out and find another engine or drop in a V-6/8 and have some fun.

[pennyman1]

sounds like a plan to me...

[Mitch4712]

He found a rebuild kit on ebay i think. He's planning on rebuilding the engine.
