I’m not suggesting what you’re saying. I’m suggesting that the initial diagnosis of a lifter “tapping” is likely not what’s actually wrong (or the only thing wrong) with his truck, and am wondering if that initial diagnosis has since turned into something else.These new rigs have a smidge more electronics going on than an ‘09. And different things can happen to different vehicles. Just because you didnt have it happen to your 13 year older vehicle dosnt necessarily mean it couldnt happen to his.
He made it sound like it’s knocking loud enough that you wouldnt even wanna start the motor…let alone still drive it. So while it maybe hasn’t necessarily “stranded” him…it really kinda has.
Btw, “knocking” isn’t “lifter ticking/tapping” to me. “Knocking” or “pinging” is (typically) a lot more serious than a loud/broken lifter.
I want to know exactly what they found to be wrong with his truck. Don’t you?
