I bought the truck from a co worker, no crank no start, I replaced bad battery and starter, got it to turn but didn't sound right the belts spun but sounded like no compression. So I immediately assumed the timing chain, pulled everything apart to replace the timing chain and looks like the marks are where they have to be and there isn't too much slack in the chain. I'm kinda bummed because I didn't find what I thought I was going to. But I am going to replace the chain and sprockets anyway since I'm in there, and replacing the crank sensor as well, it looks bad. If it doesn't start up after putting it all back together does ANYONE HAVE ANY OTHER IDEAS? I'M hoping this fix the issue but anyone deal with something like this before?? (Updated)!!!
So everything is put back together and pretty much back to where I was, spoke to the person I bought the truck from and they told me " it started sounding like a ticking like a bad lifter right before it shut off out of nowhere " now I guess valve cover coming off and gonna check heads next.
