A buddy of mine has a 05 LLY that had HG's done about 2k ago. I didn't have time to do it, so he took it to a "Diesel Specialist" in Northern NJ a few weeks ago it had a cam sensor issue, He took it and amazingly the harness was the culprit. While there they found another issue. A rocker shaft was broken in 3 pcs. Shop owner claims he's dumbfounded and never saw such a thing. It's broken at center bolt and next one out.
The guy is claiming a bolt ripped out and it's over a grand for the parts to fix.
Now, in all my years, I've only seen shafts break from improper torque or dropping and fracturing.
Has anyone ever experienced one just breaking?
