My trucks PO used the truck for plowing and camper towing so I can only imagine what she went through.

Hmmm, interesting failure. Well I think at least mine is doing good in terms of compression, no pffffft's or smoke. Runs like a champ so far. Is it just me or do these engines have the quirkiest failures, you can't take anything for granted. Chipped valves, push rods being chewed up in the...

My lines look pretty good, hoping to not have to beat em up if at all possible. Geeze there is a lot of crap to pull just to get the valve covers off and I do have AC but it doesn't look like its going to interfere. What kind of valve issues did you have? Anything similar to this?

Guys, first post on this site and wanted some more opinions on my knock I'm not exactly sure what the cause of the sound coming from my engine is but I'm sure its not good. The truck was just normal and then the next day started to make this loud tick sound that really gets loud with...
