    Need help.. possible lifter/cam

    I had a local shop with the right equipment diagnose the truck. They claimed bad lifters/cam. Got myself a used engine and had my cous do the swap (different shop). Same issue still. I have no problem if the issue lies somewhere else I just want to figure it out. If I can fix it at this point...

    Need help.. possible lifter/cam

    Did a compression test on the old engine and it was good. Cylinders next to it identical. I can see a bad spark, but wouldn't a corroded ground cause a random cylinder misfire and not just p301? It's at my mechanic right now who doesn't typically do internal engine work. Thankfully it is my...

    Cyl 1 Engine Misfire

    Definitely what I was afraid of. Honestly I'm at the point of deciding whether or not it's worth fixing or possibly dropping a new 5.7 into. I'd be able to do either by myself (close family) so no labor cost involved. Love the truck and there isn't anything else wrong with it. No a spec of...

    Cyl 1 Engine Misfire

    I've had this truck for two years now, and since the day I picked it up it's had a misfire on cyl 1. Never bothered to dig into it until now, as it has been easy to avoid. Now I'm looking to haul a few things around that's changed and getting it fixed has moved up on my priorities. So since...
