Got a written diagnosis from the shop also, just because I wanted it all documented and to be done right.

Thoughts on the air raid jr? By most here I see good things. I was looking at kn or even volant that comes with a new air box. But I'm sure the air raid jr with stock air box would do well. Stock box isn't so restrictive as the stock system to the throttle body.

I bought an Airaid MIT used off here and then bought a new filter. So I have the JR kit now and love it. Much better than the factory intake tube and filter.

I doubt the crank is the issue. I and plenty of guys on here have had rear main seals go bad. Never seen premature crank wear be an issue. It's rubber and hardens over time letting oil blow by. Replace ur seal and enjoy another 100K out ur motor.

I just saw the part about the shavings..I would do like the mechanic said and change the oil, run it 3k miles and check the drain plug. If it's full of shavings THEN I would yank the motor. Hell I was quoted $2k just to r&r my motor not including the price of the motor. U got a deal waiting.

I'd say do the motor now... you have everything pretty much set up already and why wait until you are on the highway or far from home for it to possibly blow up on you. It's already been said that there is an excess of metal shavings and possible excessive crank end play. For me it would be a no brainer to just get it out of the way and know everything is good. Also... as much as you say that you can save the money for a period of time (which you possibly could not knowing your finances) but we all know that life happens and that money could easily be used for something else down the road. Get it done and enjoy the truck rather than waiting for it to grenade on you. Just my opinion
