the only other option that has been presented to me is to get a new or used motor installed: $2500 - $5000.
I dont know what to do!

 

You need competent people working in that truck- which I'm not at all sure you have now.

*sighs* well $500 and nothing to show for it. They did "tests" and did not conclude anything. They did not tell me the actual results of the tests... I told them to put oil in the cylinder and retest the compression, try to find where the compression is being lost (charged an hour for this one), and test the coil. They said they put the scope down there and didnt see anything. Thats when they said they think it is the intake valve. They said that took 3 hours labour. I told them to tear it apart but they didnt start that yet so I told them just to put it back together so I can take it somewhere else. Of course I am talking to the service department chick that isnt actually doing the work.
