I went to the local tax office to buy tags for my truck and had to wait inline for the drive through. Then all of sudden "bang" the motor just dies. Okay no problem, it always starts right back up. Crank, crank, crank and crank. Hey the motor is spinning too easy. Did a quick check on a few things and found nothing. I suspect the timing chain broke!! I could not verify since I did not have tools with me and the other people inline would not help me push my truckout of the line. I should have just left it there.
Luckly a guy putting a sign, IN A SUITE, helped me push my truck into a parking space. Wait almost 2 hours for a tow truck.
Could 165365.5 miles be the end of the 305? That lil 16 second boat anchor sure has come along way since 113000 miles when I bought the truck. If this it the end, the 383 will be on order shortly. I'll start tearing up the truck to rebuild the front end then drop in the tire shredder.
Stay tuned folks...there may be hundreds of pictures coming soon.
