    Hello,

    Sadly one of my trucks decided to just quit on me and the official diagnosis is a dropped cylinder. Is it worth fixing and how much am I looking at?

    Thanks

    If there's no damage it shouldn't be much more than a regular inframe. Usually they can recut and shim the counterbore with the engine in the truck.
