    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    Ok So they took the valve covers off on Thursday and on Friday claimed to be taking the heads off again becuase they cannot figure out that’s going on . Something about the travel the other unreplaced lifters have is not opening the valves ? Sounds to me like they should have replaced all the...

    Mechanic hosed my truck, not sure what to do

    I agree … but I also may bear some of the responsibility for not asking more questions. Especially when I received their initial quote which had the material marked up a ridiculous amount . They had quoted approx $500 for all the gaskets necessary to replace the cam and lifters . The same...

    That’s the reason for my post. I feel like they’re just moseying on through when I want them to get to the issue. Like when he told me that the spark plugs were fouled then said they were going a compression text that was fine then told me they were checking the fuel rail and I’m like hold on...

    I’m 100% aware now that the oil is not the issue . Thank you for opening my eyes on this. I always run the low octane gas …I’ll have to try running the high octane to see if it makes a Difference . Thanks !
