The Ranger was running great last week. On Friday I ran to King-Snoopers to get a red box for the kids. It was pinging under the hood like it threw another pushrod, this keeps happening on just the middle cylinder exhaust valve on the Right bank. But it quit tapping and made it home fine, but was missing like a mother fo. So I move it out of the driveway today to take off and go to the hills for some ski time with the family. I come home today and need to move the truck back into the driveway and it turns over and acts like it is hydraulic-ked.
So I tried to start it again and it starts. But now it could be a smokescreen maker for the military. Burning oil and missing bad. Like I said last time it did this it was the pushrod. So it looks like I am taking the valve cover off it again cause it is running like Shiite.
I need to get to the junk and get a new pushrod. This one has bent twice in the same place and I don't think I can hammer it back into place again.
Oh the joys of owning an older truck.
