Hope I do not regret this post and I hope it is taken as just an honest question.

Lol...the motor in question was in my truck, the "Old Girl" gave up the ghost in the mountains of WV with trailer in tow. Hes been at me to buy a new one for 2 years and Ive resisted...she was over 189k when she well......decided to start a knocking and banging. 5 trips back and forth to GA since Feb and no signs of anything at all, even this morning monster oil pressure, sounded like a wrist pin dinging 20 miles back, big mountain hill, rattle and pop.....

Funny thing is its still running great with a rod loose, and oil pressure is at over 40lbs....musta broke with the big end still on the journal....oil looks like glitter, but I actually drove about 5 miles off the expressway, then 5 miles through town. Still running. Im gonna fix her when I have time. But I have to take his advice and go buy myself a new truck (I just hate to Im a cheap SOB) and as much as we joke about him spending all his money and this and that, I cover many of the costs.....its a "inside" joke between us about him spending my inheritance.
