What an awesome day wrenching! The ingenuity of ideas that went in to getting the engine Unseized is just to cool. Can’t wait to see what you guys do with the Fargo 🤟🤟

@alan6832 9 ай бұрын

Why not use 5th gear? I bet that would make the clutch slip instead of making the wheels skid, but it would put far more force on the engine. I would alternate between 5th and reverse, and use an acid in the mix in the cylinders, vinegar or stronger. Or stop dragging, remove the inspection cover and start prying the ring gear, alternating directions 50 times.

@alan6832 9 ай бұрын

Another way might be to load the truck to make it heavy.

@alan6832 9 ай бұрын

I would use muriatic acid before using that much force, but you could also use the firing order, the rotor position, and the dipstick down the plug holes to figure out which cylinder is going the right direction, even the direction consistent with the ratchet straps. Muriatic acid is not going to bend a rod.
