Update on the truck:
The engine is done
It was on borrowed time and the loan got foreclosed.
It lunched one or more rings in one or more cylinders yesterday, ran pretty rough.
I will get it out this weekend and up to an overhauler in BC that I know. It will get oversized pistons, new cam, upgraded injectors but the rest will be stock.
The oversized pistons because the bore is most certainly damaged.
