Piston Disintegrated End Of Engine
<span;>I found the problem with my engine. The piston in cylinder #5 self destructed and left no trace behind. All that remains is a rod and wrist pin. The engine ran great until it didn't. Currently, I'm looking for a new Truck</span;>
UPDATE 2 WITH CORRECTION ON CAMPING WORLD
UPDATE on Camping World price confusion.
I was asking her about base plates for the truck and the parts lady quoted me for an entire flat tow system installed. We are working on just the parts I need for my setup and I install everything. So that brings the cost to around 3500.00 all said and done. A bit more reasonable. Aparently our good sams membership, doesn't really get us 10% off on purchases. It gets us the advertised sales not available to non members. We also get points on purchases good on next purchases. Better than nothing. I just wanted to make that correction.
UPDATE:
Not getting a lot of love from campung world who wanted 5000.00 to install a baseplate for flat towing. Something E-Trailer sells for 350.00 and can be bolted in in an hours time. No rental companies have seem to have a truck I can use. Uhaul only has half ton trucks. If I can setup a towbar on this truck, Enterprise has a Freightliner contractor utility truck that can do the tow.
I'll post more when I know.
wow, that fast. usaly they give a little warning... thats realy to bad after all the work you just did.
are you going to concider a diesel? might be able to find a used one for a steel.
That's horrible to hear after all of the work you just put into the truck and engine. Good luck in your search!
