Someone who is in the area, please go look at this truck and help determine what the problem is.
between the dealer, salesman and local friends....1 person says its this...another thinks its that.... a few others are sure its that over there... meanwhile, no offense, but not one of those people has probably ever changed oil on a SyTy, let alone diagnose a problem.
pulling a motor and tearing it down is a serious task, let alone thinking that someone is going to cover the cost for you, which will be in the thousands of dollars.

The last time I spoke to him, I thought it was the injectors ticking, no idea it was knocking too. I got tied up this past week so I was unable to see it.
But its a lesson to those that don't get these trucks inspected by someone with knowledge of these trucks. Even if nobody lives around there, its worth 300 bucks to send an inspector. I had 2 sytyers check mine out AND an inspector... :rock:

I strongly recomend that you insist that the "very good turbo machine shop thats doin the work" for you does some serious research on rebuilding a syty engine correctly.
Please, for your sake don't take these opinions lightly. There are some extremely intelligent people on this site that have leared from their mistakes and others mistakes.

Well,all I can say is that we as a community have been through this scenario countless times.Guy buys truck,truck is poo (but pretty!),has local shop work on it,still is poo,sells the truck for loss and disappears.
What are your plans/goals? Do you just want a stock rebuild? Do you even know if it has the nodular mains in it?
I hope the used car stealer fags cut you a decent check,cause you are looking at 3-4 grand minimum to have someone pull yours,have it rebuilt and put back in.
For a bare minimum build (assuming you have the nodular mains) I'd go .030 over SRP pistons,Total Seal rings,and L35 rods.

Junior... I also agree that it sounded like injector tick when speaking with phooey and getting a description.
From the email I recieved from phooey the other day, it seems 2 of the cylinders are at 70 after the compression check done by the dealer and his mechanics. Dont know which cylinders, he didnt mention.
Typhooey,
CAMSTY and Jimmy are both correct. Most of us have been here long enough to see this happen more than once. If you listen to anyone, listen to the people posting.... REAL owners who deal with these trucks on a daily basis. Help is here, use it to your advantage.
