My truck listed above is a 3500. Just bought this truck a few weeks ago. It needed a new exhaust manifold when I took it to be checked out.
I had it replaced then less than a day later the check engine light came on. The code told me it needed a new o2 sensor. I took it to the mechanic and hes telling me it was the crankshaft sensor which they swapped out and said it did not fix the lack of power.
They then did a leak down test and said that was fine as well.
He believes the tapping is a valve issue but cannot tell me anything else. He says I just need a new engine.
I have rebuilt several motorcycle engines and usually do all of my own work. I have never swapped a truck engine, but I do not think I want someone who cannot even tell me the cause of the problem doing it either.
Anyone have any good ideas or common issues with this vehicle to give me a start before an engine swap?
