The truck goes in Monday for all of the work to be performed. The tech that always works on my truck couldn't believe that it blew again.

I am also having a few other items taken care of while it is in - the cracks in the paint on the top of the truck. Any idea's how they fix this - paint entire top of cab, or just the channels themselves?? Hopefully they do a good job color matching the red since it has no doubt faded. Should let them do this, or just let it go?
I also have the same "loose marble noise" from my engine when it is put in drive and I have my foot on the brake, or when driving and it is in the upper rpm range (without boost). Maybe bad belt tensioner or idler pulley bearings??

Thanks guys - I appreciate having everyone here to bounce ideas off of... and gain knowledge from.
