Turns out, the motor ate itself. At least two injectors took out three cylinders. End result was putting in a new motor. That was the easiest repair So, now here I am with a 2004 truck with a 2006 motor that has 16,500 miles on it. It runs like a raped ape. My plan is to keep this thing until it tries to do that again - hopefully in about 200,000 miles...

Working for a truck manufacturer....were the injectors replaced, then you needed an engine? Sometimes the techs will not tighten the injector lines down and the engine oil gets full of fuel...then runs away. OR the Charge Air Cooler becomes full of oil and melts pistons.

I wouldn't buy a diesel on a light duty truck unless you really need it or have a good warranty. How much was the engine?
