Two days after reporting my Truck was fixed. (Re-looses power, runs cold, engine miss and blue smoke above 2200 prm). It ran good right up to the point in time when it blew a connecting rod. Third hole, right bank, hole in the oil pan, oil on ground.

Had it towed to repair shop, New motor on order soon...

She made it to 250,00 miles.
Started with a buzzing noise, I slowed down, turned into a loud knock followed up quickly by a short series of very loud bangs,oopsomygosh... Turned the key off.
lots of oil on the ground, no water. Radiator still full.
