The first was an injector failure. Half of the tip broke off. Mechanic blamed me for putting a chip on it. It had one in it when I got it but surely it wasn't that one that caused the failure. The second had a bad wrist pin/piston issue. Couldn't tell if it was just diesel rattle or a problem when they started it for me to hear it run. Just drove it til it came apart. #3 piston. About a $600 in parts and it will be good to go. Have to get it out of the truck first. Have the original back together after replacing the piston there. Head gaskets, bolts, oil pan, etc. Just need to swap the injectors, turbo, intake, alt, ps, ac, etc back onto the original. Nothing but unbolting and bolting it all back up.
