Good luck man. Hope it fixes the problem

Could that also be the issue with mine? A couple months ago I was stuck behind a semi going about 55 mph. When I went to pass I put the pedal down hard, maybe to the floor, and instead of accelerating the truck fell flat on its face. It's hard to describe but I imagine the truck tried to go down...

Thanks for the replies guys. I haven't talked to the mechanic since but from what I understood he ordered the push rod, installed it, and then hand cranked it to see how everything reacted. He's the owner of the place and I trust him. Family and friends have taken their vehicles to him and he'll...

Well it's not looking good. The pushrod was severely bent and the heads are warped. My mechanic is away until Monday when he will pull the heads and check the block to see if there is any damage there. If so then I don't know what I'll do. If there is no damage to the block then I'm looking at...

I actually removed the dash and hvac box earlier this summer for the exact same problem. The drivers side air is cooler than the passenger side. When I took everything out only the recirc door was broken. I replaced all of the doors anyways. It didn't fix it entirely. I wonder whether something...

Ha I'm 5'9 and a buck seventy. I got on top after taking the heat shield off and was able to get to the 7th and 9th fairly easily. 9th was bad but all others were just mildly worn. Replaced with copper champions. Not surprisingly though the knock is still there. I'd really like to do this...

Thanks guys. What's frustrating is the dealership heard the tick/knock but did an oil change and coolant flush anyway, assuming they knew they (or I) would have to drain it all if it required getting to the heads. Maybe I shouldn't be so hard on them. It's not like I'm equipped to do this. I am...

Hey all I've got an engine knock. Before you read below my ultimate questions are should I upgrade lifters, valves, and/or rods? (If it is a lifter tick) If so, what should I upgrade to? I don't plan racing or supercharging. I hope nothing warped or is damaged, but temps got high. Here's what...

The photos were too big. Here we go.

Backseat, B&B headers and pipes Hey I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on some headers. My truck already has magnaflow on it so I won't be getting a catback at this time. For an 06 Quad cab, and for B&B, I need to get the headers ~$1800, high flow cats ~$850 part number (071-FTRU-0446)...

Thanks for the responses guys. I had my shop check the truck out and they came up with a few things. I attached a picture of what they say should be done and some prices. I don't know if you'll be able to see much. Nothing was pressing, but they said it'd be good to keep these issues in mind...

Thanks for the welcomes. I'm from a small town northeast of Wichita, at least most of the time growing up, but currently in Topeka. I'm not too worried about the mpg's, I knew what they typically got going into it :burnout:. It's actually getting better than expected. There's a lot of good...

Just bought an 06' QC with 100k on it as my dd. The cai debate on here is awesome. I initially wanted volant with the snorkel/scoop to the hood but all the collective knowledge here has me leaning towards a k&n. I want the sound, but don't like the open box format. I want more growl than a...
