Need help! Truck shut down while driving

Oh boy...worse case scenario. There are companies that sell used engines, complete. I've seen them advertise in the truck papers. Normally, the engines go for around $6000. A brand new engine will cost @ $30grand.

 

how much oil did you lose? and where exactly are you taking the picture from?

 

Hurst, here It is right way round (I think)..

 

No amount of JB Weld is going to fix that one. That is a way better pic then the first one. Good job enhancing the pic haycarter.

 

Is that from the rod breaking? Or from the rod bearings being worn, which causes rod to break?

 

Actually It's the OP's pic but just rotated around to what I think is the correct orientation..(Pretty sure my 2nd one is right way up)......

 

Yeah,.. I see it now. I was using my phone last time I looked at it. On my laptop now. Completely see that. Ouch. That looks expensive.

I feel your pain,.. I'm in the middle of getting motor rebuilt in my truck. Except yours looks a little beyond the damage mine saw. Wow,.. what happened,.. rod poke open a window? Thats like the worst thing possible.
