Happy new year BS thread!

Happy new year FTE! Let's see what 2022 has in store for us!

I got the 6.4 motor out yesterday with the help of Cory. Haven't tore it down yet to see what's wrong. That is probably what today's mission will be.

Good morning guys! Monday found us once again!

Well I found a scored cylinder. Here is a couple pics. The one of the cylinder is before I got the piston out. It is scored much worse on the part of the cylinder you can't see. The pic of the piston doesn't really do it justice to how bad it is. I also forgot to mention that we got the motor out without lifting the cab at all.

Not sure if it was a plugged oiler or maybe a injector going bad or something. Not real sure. All the other cylinders look fine.

Good morning Jim. Looking at 30f here today. Blah! But maybe a little snow tonight then cold again.

We got my truck mostly back together last night. Need to flush out the cooling system while we have it this far along. Should have that done tonight. We did start it for a bit. Sounds good.

Good morning Jim! Yeah I wish I knew for sure. I'm leaning towards an injector issue and will definitely be putting a new injector in that cylinder.

Good morning Jay! Suppose to be in the mid 20's here today and 1-3 inches of snow tonight.

Congrats on getting the truck running. Nice project to have done.
