Last weekend I was teaching my wife how to drive the D2 when it decided to cease its normal functioning. She said that thare was a noticable loss in power. This was acompinied by a loud banging sound that was distinctly reminisent of the car when the head gasket went last month. At a idle the banging would go away.
I am woundering if it is a stuck valve?
It's always smoked a little on one cylnder for as long as I can remember. I was also noticing a few weeks ago that when you look at the exaust manifold that the front cylnder never got hot enough to burn the paint off of the manifold.
so I gess I am going to pull the head once I get my truck out of the machanic bay.
Is it safe to drive the D2 up from the equipment shed on its own power or should I drag it up with the loader?
