    Codes P219A and P0305, erratic down shifts and high fuel consumption

    Fingers crossed for you then. The 4-5k where dealer quotes. The independent quoted 2.5k for cam and lifter replacement and 3.5k for the engine/longblock. With 106k miles on the truck, spending 1k more on the engine made sense to me.

    Codes P219A and P0305, erratic down shifts and high fuel consumption

    Codes P219A and P0305, erratic down shifts and high fuel consumption

    Pulled valve cover on driver side. Bit of a challenge to get it out.. Visually it seems intake valve of no.5 is bein less compressed compared to adjacent cylinders. So that looks like a camshaft job. Now need to get some price estimates and do some thinking on what next steps are going to be.

    P0456 code, small EVAP leak
