Great story Wayne, the only mechanic I use these days is a friend I've known since grade school, good/honest ones are hard to find. Sounds like yours went above and beyond..best of luck to you.

Yes it actually made it easier to hear seeing how much it bothered them that it happened while it was there. They made me feel bad for them.

Accelerating is optional...........stopping is mandatory. Your car WILL stop one way or another.

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!
