    We got this truck not long ago and already issues. We had cylinder 3 have bent pushrods both intake and exhaust. We replaced the pushrods and did the lash and all was good till about 500 miles later while driving all of a suddun the engine started shaking and feels like it did before. Is this a common problem? or is there a fix so the rockers dont pop off.



    No I got the codes

    The lifters get stuck in the block and jam then the piston hits the open valve and does the damage. Engine replacement is the fix.

    Is it a clearance issue with the lifters and replace the lifters? Why would you repalce the engine if the same thing can happen there as well?

    Lifters ride in the block, the block is ruined.
