What can I do with this mess… BOTCHED cam and lifter job
No matter the brand of vehicle, this should be quick and easy since it's a business decision, a company truck that's probably been fully depreciated, is taking up valuable space, hasn't been able to be used for its intended purpose (generate income), and is highly likely to continue breaking...- tntdiddy

First Start after Cam Swap. Help pls!
Since you’ve already fired the engine as it sits (not likely to cause more damage), it would be less time consuming to do a compression test on #3.

Tire Balancing on lifted truck-(solved)
I have 37x12.5/20 Cooper STT Pro's on my 2012 with a 4" Rough Country lift that I replace every 20K. This summer, during my final 5,000 miles I didn't rotate them or get an alignment, they became very uneven on the inside and shook at any speed. Put my new ones on (hard to find a shop that can...
