We opened the motor up today and its not a bearing its a wrist pin almost seized. The bearings look pretty good. Only 68,000 on the truck. While its apart I'll polish the crank and put new main, rod, and cam bearings in it. The motor has always had 10 psi at idle since new, I never liked it that low so a new oil pump and timing chain will also go in. I'm going to check everything and replace as needed. Might as well strike while the iron's hot.
One of the guys that was there today right away lets do a 383 its all apart. I said Hell No I already go crazy with the car not the truck too! My wife is understanding but not that understanding!
