Well today the dealer let me borrow their compression gauge and adapter to test my compression tonite.
But i found out what i was scared would happen.
As you may remember i had a very smokey rough idle that popped and sputtered but when i shut cylinder 2 off things were fine.
The balance rate for that cylinder was +5.2 in park, and +8.7 in Drive.
I had hoped for a bad injector but after my compression test I see it is not.
All of the other 7 cylinders were between 380-390psi. #2 was between 200-220psi on the three times a rechecked it just to make sure.
I guess its time to pull out the motor and determine the issue. I suppose this means something not so good mechanically (cracked piston, bent rod) i guess i will find out.
But i think the truck will be sitting for awhile.
