Message: [QUOTE="kleake, post: 1490638, member: 25987"] More great news... About 10k on the second set of heads, all had been running great but I think I cracked a piston on the way home Saturday. All was running good, pulling the camper. Engine temps around 200-215 depending on the hills, running around 70mph and all of a sudden and noise, low power, and lots of smoke. Pulled over and the passenger side inner fender is covered in oil. Popped a grommet loose on a glow plug. Had it towed home and did a compression test. #5 is showing 0 compression. Symptoms are pointing at the piston. Debating replacing the pistons, or just replace the whole motor with a new one. I'm getting tired of pulling the cab at this point. 250k on the truck now.
