Re: Trying not to panic. Chunk in oil.

I agree with the previous statements. Based on the fact you checked and all valve keepwrs are accounted for and that there was only ONE chunk metal you should be OK. I believe it is metal from when the engine rebuilt.

Thumbs up Re: Trying not to panic. Chunk in oil.

I'm not going to sit here and tell you it's OK for a shop to let something like that be in a motor after a rebuild because I wouldn't think so but who am I to say. Yea people are human and make mistakes, I make at least a few each day I'm awake.
I would be checking everything out good. You can rent a scope cheap enough to take a look up inside the motor. If you don't find anything drive it and have fun. Keep a eye on the oil pressure and go.

Get out and drive the truck this summer and have some fun!
It sucks not being able to hear!

LWB trucks rule, if you don't think so measure your SWB!
After talking to tech support at Air Lift I have found out that the kit I need is 60811. Per the measurements I gave them. Ride height of truck inside spring and inside diameter of springs.
