how does a dyno Not help diagnose 3 dead cylinders?
This simple and cheap tool could have given you the answer an about 6 seconds.
check the temp on the exhaust manifold at each exhaust port.

Stop at harbor freight and pick up a temperature gun. And measure the exhaust manifold temperature.
You might be able to find one that can park a truck somewhere close.Rideandrepair and AFC Thank this. -
The repair shop did another compression test and it shows that cylinders for five and six have under 40%, so they're going to be rebuilding the head my truck is going to be in the shop until Friday I do have a loaner truck until then
Siinman, xsetra and Rideandrepair Thank this. -
Did they do an actual compression test or just another BS one with a computer? Since they told you 40% and not an actual number in PSI I'm betting they didn't.
What did they do to determine the head needs a rebuild and that its not the cylinders?Siinman, Magoo1968 and Rideandrepair Thank this. -

this is utterly insane, READ MY POST AGAIN!
if they put it on the computer, after being explained your situation than the mechanic is a moron.
they need to do a mechanical test, not a computer test and they have to check the valve adjustment of those two cylinder, the computer test is not to be trusted.shatteredsquare, Opendeckin, Siinman and 3 others Thank this.
