A guy on here drove his truck over 20 miles with a crank that was broke in 2 pieces.. Said he could have driven it further also... Sometimes these motors will surprise you..
i wouldn't necessarily start looking for an engine yet. do a cylinder leakdown test and see where your loosing compression. you may just have valves that aren't seating which if you have the time and some know-how you may be able to take care of the main part of the job on your own.
Yea, she ran and she ran pretty good for the longest with the compression being at that. I think its time to just go buy a new truck lol she is tired. Maybe i will stick her on CL and see what I can get.
