Things have went south for my poor truck :(
I have been working on trying to get the truck started. I checked the compression on all of the cylinders and things don't look good.
Here is what I got: 8: 0psi--------7: 125psi 6: 120psi-----5: 140psi 4: 100psi-----3: 135psi 2: 25psi------1: 90psi When I got the truck in Aug. of 2006, the timing chain was broke and when I took off the valve covers there were some bent pushrods. Now, there could have been lots of damage when the timing chain broke. Another option is that I didn't get rockers adjusted right when I replaced the pushrods. My bet is there is lots of damage from when the timing chain broke. That is how my luck rolls... ![]()

Re: Things have went south for my poor truck :(
possible bent valve, possibly hole in piston. if the piston hit an open valve that could have caused your bent pushrod. Pop the heads off and let's have a look.

Re: Things have went south for my poor truck :(
I agree. Don't get worried until you get those heads off. You may only need a simple valve job.
