Hi Folks,
Took my 55 series II for a ride last weekend and heard a funny noise from the engine.
At 1800 RPM it rattles!
Doesn't use any oil and doesn't smoke, runs and idles great, even the fuel consumption is OK. It also doesn't overheat and when it rattles, the oil pressure doesn't changeand is always very good.
The truck has 76,000 miles on it and is all original.
I'm in Germany so it is tough to find help.
Friends in my car club say it sounds like a rod bearing.
How can I check the bearings without taking the motor apart?
If it is a rod bearing, I'd be interested to buy a reconditioned 235 motor. Does anyone have a suggestion as to where I mght be able to buy one? If it is a rod bearing, the crank is probably shot so a rebuilt motor is probably the best way to go.
Many Thanks!!
