So after dumping more than $1500 and many hours into my truck, I took it on a grand voyage to America. Power was less than anemic, and fuel economy was horrendous. I should have stopped, but I had a firm deadline to make.
Well, about 14 hours of driving and she lost enough power that I pulled off the road and noticed the cloud of smoke starting from the engine bay. No fire, but no compression on 1 cylinder.
I caught a lift to the event, but the truck was towed to Eastern PA and there it sits. I'm told a 100 pin 2.9 is almost impossible to find now, and on top of that it needs a gas tank and muffler. I'm lucky in that it's at a friends who will fix it if I can provide the parts.
What do I do?
