its got 371000 miles. Compression loss over night? that seems hard to believe but hey im not a diesel mechanic I know my o rings maby bad not too sure though. When I had it at international they told me that everything checked out ( they had it for like a week) ie: compression, injectors, turbo. the only thing they recomended me to do was put stage 2 sticks in it. lol not for 4k. So im just confused at the moment. i could just probally a bad bach of fuel. who knows

Start it up cold then with your fingers feel each exhaust port. They should all be equally warm . If you have a laser thermometer that work better. You should be able to tell real fast which cylinder(s) that is not firing properly.

well heres the issue, Number 2 cyl injector is firing according to the scan tool but nothing else. The shop tells me lots of things that could be broken ie: broken valve spring, bent/ broke pushrod, bad valve, hole in piston, cracked liner.... Im just at my witts end here with the truck. Its gonna be costly here. need advice on truck.. Jack
