Haha thanks man. I hope it's a easy fix. Well easy in the terms of not replacing the engine lol

To update this. The truck is supposed to go to second wind performance firday, I stop there a few mins ago to talk to the owner, and he barely listened to the symptoms I told him it was having, you know to help him figure out the issue, and he just kept saying its gunna need a short block. So I called hallers and talked to Jim, he said they can get to it this week, but I have no time to drive it down besides the weekend, so he said they can look at it as soon s it gets there, and talking to him, he was very nice and listened and wasn't trying to sell me a short block. So I will be bringing it down to hallers this weekend and have them fix it seeing that they were highly recommened by jared from RCD. I'm not looking forward to driving it that far but today talking to the owner of second wind left a bad taste in my mouth, seemed like he was trying to sell me a short block to make a buck

You made the right decision. Hallers will take care of you!

Good deal. Can you trailer it down?

I don't know anyone that can trailer it for me and I don't have much money as my fiancés isn't working and will be going to school soon

I think lilredstroker on here is from Casper. Maybe he can help. Just hate for you to do more damage driving it.

Maybe he will chime in. I know there is another member around here too. I think his name is wyohauler

Another little update. Talked to jim today from hallers, he convinced me on getting a drop in atmo, was gunna go the single route but after moving here to wyoming and being at 5200 ft above sea level I will keep the compounds, wasn't worried about a single back home at only 200ft. Only thing that will keep me from getting the drop in is if there is something else wrong other than lifters and I can't budget in the 72 drop in

Sounds like it made it to haller's shop. Which is good if it's true. Sounds like things may just be looking up for you. Keep us informed on what they find.

Stroked777 · Dec 18, 2014

I plan on it. I hope it's just lifters so I can get that 72mm atmo lol

Stroked777 · Dec 20, 2014

Well amazingly my truck made the 180 miles trip down to hallers. Any it didn't run any worse on the way down. Big sign of relief that it's at a shop.

That's great man. Were the lifters replaced when the cam was put in?

Stroked777 · Dec 20, 2014

Unfortunately when I did all the work I didn't know that the lifters was a issue until u was on this forum a little longer

Stroked777 · Dec 20, 2014

And by I did the work I mean helmer's diesel in NY

swinky · Dec 20, 2014

They're usually not an issue till above 200k miles but I've seen them go as low as 70k.

Stroked777 · Dec 20, 2014

Truck hit 116,500 on the way in to Cheyenne. Maybe the cam and 120# valve springs have something to do with it. I know those add stress to the valve train. Only thing not upgraded in the valve train is the lifters

Stroked777 · Dec 26, 2014

Talked to Jim today, said they diagnosed that number 5 cylinder has no compression due to the intake valve not opening. So right now I'm looking at either a bad lifter or the intake cam lobe was wiped out. But it ran good the four day trip and all of the sudden ran like crap so I don't think a cam lobe could have be wiped out in the few seconds it took to run like crap. So as long as it's just the lifter thats bad I will have them replace them all and I should still have money for a 72mm turbo from River city diesel. If the cam is shot then I will be getting a new stage one cam from RCD and not be able to get a core charge back. So I have my fingers crossed so I can get that 72 lol

Glad you got it down there without any issues. No matter what the outcome, atleast you know it's in good hands and don't have to worry about it being fixed correctly! Keep us updated!
