Lol. He can put the $51 he saved towards the tow bill he'll be paying when it fails again. Shouldn't take long with the humidifier he built for it

Last night drove up to the mountains with the truck on Colorado's I-70. When we got to where we're staying and I went down in RPM the truck started shaking again. This morning it kicked the Cam Position code of 0340. I'm thinking I got taken on this truck.

I have the low oil pressure syndrome at idle. I've read all the horror stories of how much money has been poured into these engines. I don't want to spend $6500 to replace an engine on a truck I spent $9500.

The only thing I'm reading now is to maybe run a heavier weight oil, run this thing until I find a better vehicle.
