No Roe TSTM on wingless trucks!
But it does not sound as bad as you initially thought.
Go thru the diagnosis, you may be surprised...just does not sound like a major failure to me.
Good luck and let us know what you find.

Ebay! they got low mile complete set-ups for about 7k us- less if you just want the engine.Deibs said:Well yesterday was my worst day during my short ownership of this truck...
I was on my home from camping and i was all but 5 min away from my house when the truck decided to take a :toilet: As far as me and my dad could figure it sounded like a pushrod. The #7 piston has just the worst banging going on. I'm not even sure as to how to describe it sound wise properly.. kind of like the usual injector noise but a lot louder and a lot more metal banging together..
I did have a few questions on this issue as i need some direction. My plan was going to be in this order.. Drop Kit/Air Bags/Traction -- Tranny/Rear End -- Engine Build. With the Engine coming in a years time and the other two being done this winter while the snow flies.
So now with the rods failing am i going to be price wise deep enough to justify pulling the engine now and forging the internals.. take into account that i'm looking at a full build as my goal in the end is to be upwards of 900 to 1000 rwhp. I'm not too sure at the price of this job (to fix the pushrods),, or if this is all it will need.. the truck did still run without any misses, it just had the terrible knock!!
This just plain out and out sucks............ i had the stupid thing planned out and was trying to take it easy with my tune and boost so that i could keep everything in order, oh well :dontknow:
good luck

one blown motor is enough. I'd have to see a total history report on the engine and who built it before i'd think about purchasing it.If i could send it to underground and have it done for 13K US it wouldn't be too bad,, i had initially got quoted 30K CAN locally but thought that i could get it for 20K CAN if i was to send it to the states -- that would be my end price with shipping/conversion and any extras.
ouch that sucks...

Well i finally got some time to take the Valve covers off and i was hoping someone could give me some insight.. it would be appreciated soooo much!!
It looks to be fine on the passenger side unlike i previously thought... BUT looking at the drivers side, Cylinder 1 doesn't look to be right see picture below. You can view the sets of pictures to see more.

What happens if you just crank the motor over and not start it?

I took the passenger side off and then took pictures,, then i put it back together and started it,, took a quick video and then took the drivers side apart.

If any of your pushrods were bent enough to knock you should have been able to feel the rocker arm loose. Did you give them a feel and see if they were all tight?
Also, did you check all of your spark plugs to see how they looked?
