I pulled the heads off to put in arp studs and found a bad puston I believe its the #1 (front hole on the pasanger side) so I pulled the oil pan and the adapter plate and pulled the connecting rod appart and pushed the piston out as I was cleaning up for the day I found this little steal ball about a half inch in size covered in oil so wair dose the ball go.

Could that make its way to the oil pan though I haven't messed with the hpop or the cover. All though the I did change it like 3 and a half years ago and the oil pan adapter plate had lots of crud on it do you think it is possible for it to sit there that long I off road alot in this truck but I gess its possible but not very likely
