    I had a car run over 40,000 miles with oil in the coolant - it died a horrible death when it threw a rod out the block.
    The engine probably needs rebuilt with all new gaskets and seals ( not cheap on that truck ) . May have damaged pistons and related parts from the leak.



    The "van" and lift gate are worth about $3,800 ( if the gate works ), cab is worth about $4,400, transmission about $1,200, rear axle around $800 ( LINK )

    Thanks for the link. I wonder if they're really getting those prices. If so, parting out may be an avenue I should look at.

    Gate doesn't work. Battery is charged. I will tinker on it some more today and see what's going on.

    It has 2 tires that look new. The rest are decent. Probably some value there.

    I am pondering keeping the box for storage and sell/scrap the rest.

    There may be a cutoff switch in the cab for it, or it may only work when it sees 13+ volts (the engine is running).

    There's a switch on the side of the pump box. Flipping it either way doesn't do anything. Tester shows no power on either terminal. I do have power at the pump solenoids though. Jumper wire got the lift going.

    Truck started after a bit. Sounded awful so I shut it down. Sounded almost like a steering pump whine. Anyone have thoughts on that?
