knever3 Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 You should buy it for parts it looks complete and you could just rebuild the thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted November 15, 2011 Author Share Posted November 15, 2011 I'm betting that thing is smoked. With an aluminum head and block, they don't respond well to overheating. Plus, I just don't think I have the funds to do another expedition. Rob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted November 15, 2011 Share Posted November 15, 2011 Only an hour from me....but yea, that thing sounds trashed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knever3 Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 I guess I dindn't know they were both aluminum, I would agree but the auxillary parts are still good. I'm sure a turbo isn't that easy to come by. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
terrawombat Posted November 18, 2011 Share Posted November 18, 2011 Turbo's can easily be replaced and adapters can be made to make some of the more common turbos adapt to the exhaust manifold on the XJ diesel. I'd be more concerned about the machining time to get the block and head decks true after it overheated and definitely warped some stuff. The fact that there is water in the crankcase also means trashed bearings. Basically, the engine is likely shot and this truck would only be worth it to someone who has an MJ or XJ diesel and needs some of the other hard to find diesel parts under the hood.
