The guy I got the truck from said the motor had a knock to it so that’s why the previous owner parked it. Allegedly it only has 130,000km. But I also don’t know how long it’s been parked outside without a hood on it. I’ve looked for a used 4.3 to swap it out with but there isn’t any good ones locally. I even checked a few local places for prices on rebuild kits for the 4.3 and parts seem to be hard to find for them.
