Re: cam lobe
I just had that happen to me last year. The exhaust lobe on my cam had almost completely worn down. If you have A/C in your truck, you will have to remove the condenser to allow for the cam to clear when you pull it out (if you're not pulling the engine).
Also, it would be good to pull off a main cap and check your cam bearings. With all the metal that wore off the cam, it could have done some damage to your bearings.
I pulled my mains off and there was copper showing. I plastigaged them and they were in spec so I threw them back on and crossed my fingers. I also didn't have time to pull the crank.
Get ready for a sore back, it sucks leaning over the engine bay all day!
Good luck, hope everything goes well for you.
