1. It has a "J" in the 8 digit of Vin#... will this truck have the AFM 5.3 V4/V8 engine ? I have info that indicates the "J" is a 6.0, but I'm pretty sure it's a 5.3. I'd rather not have the 6.0 and if it's a 5.3 AFM, it's an early one and I'd like to avoid that too.

Today's Featured Article - Third Brush Generators - by Chris Pratt. While I love straightening sheet metal, cleaning, and painting old tractors, I use every excuse to avoid working on the on the electrics. I find the whole process sheer mystery. I have picked up and attempted to read every auto and farm electrics book with no improvement in the situation. They all seem to start with a chapter entitled "Theory of Electricity". After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
