Sooooo I believe my truck has suffered lifter failure. I know that i was having some issues with them (had a bent pushrod replaced and was still getting an odd tick) and I think something finally let go. I replaced the water pump and was flushing coolant when the truck decided not to crank back up for me. It did not want to build ICP. So before it goes into the shop for anything I am going to go ahead and save up money and prepare for the worst lol
So I would like y'all's opinion on what the best route is for me? Should I pay to have it repaired (assuming only the needle bearings let go and did not do damage to anything but the cam & LPOP) or save up for a short block from Asheville Engine?
If I choose to repair this is my current build sheet that will be getting done if the motor is not trashed:
Stage 2 Colt Cam
OEM 6.0 Lifters from River City Diesel
6.4 Pushrods
Warren LPOP
And some other goodies (lift pump, exhaust wrap, etc)
Would anyone change up anything from this list to prevent lifter failure from happening again?
