06 3.7 with 170k miles...
Lost water pump - replaced.
Crank attempt (manually
.) turned then jammed...turned crank backwards, turned then jammed...forward, turned then jammed...
Advised to put some trans fluid on top of each cylinder....
Vacuumed fluid with small hose through plug holes...
Discovered metal fragments in 1 cylinder...
All valves appeared to be moving....
Haven't removed head to determine cylinder damage.. just assumed the motor is toast but praying I'm wrong....
Love my truck but I'm no mechanic (not a banker either lol).
Any suggestions?
