I posted last night about my blinking c/e light and some performance issues and dropped the trac off at the shop. I got the call from the shop this morning and it was all bad news. Turns out there was no compression in cylinder 6 and when the head was removed they saw the valve was seared off and had fallen into the piston. There was damage to the piston and cylinder head. They told me that I need a new motor. I don't think they are lying to me being as they don't do motors there and I would have to take my business elsewhere for the repairs. I only have 135k on the truck and do routine maintenance. Unfortunately I don't have the money laying around to replace the motor so I have to figure some things out for the time being. Timing couldn't have been worse. I have to go to Rochester NY for 2 days next week and Harrisburg PA the week after for a week for work. Sucks to be me I guess.
