This gave me hope and popped the cover. Everything looked okay and turned it over and all rockers and valves flutter like normal. Thank you for your reply though

popped cover off. Springs and rods look fine. Turned it over and rockers all flicker in order. Will probably be getting borescope to really make sure but I’m sure it’s the piston. Thank you for your help.

What would I hear with a zero compression? What do you mean? With the spark plugs all out I did the compression test one by one. Every cylinder besides #1 you can hear the gallop. The chuuh chuuh chuuh chuuh chuuh. But as soon as I put the gauge on 1 and try to crank it sounds like a free...

1999 gmc Sierra 1500 4.3 vortec from a 2003 silverado. Check engine blinking misfire cylinder 1. Exhaust Billowing grey smoke, rough idle, oil on spark plug 1. Did compression test and it’s dead zero. All other good compression except for cylinder 5 which is same side as cylinder 1 but at least...

What can go bad about those things? That’s what I don’t have experience with. I swapped the pitman and idler for a lot thicker bigger USA parts but passed that like gear box I have little experience with. Like the steering shaft?

No sir I set the toe not too long ago had it written down and toe after the thump is exactly 81 10/16. Front and rear of front tires.

And wheels would stay completely straight? Exactly straight? Not being combative just saying

B Bending that latter rod would cause steering wheel to turn while leaving tires exactly straight?

Just going to take it in. Just have never really messed with steering shafts and thought if someone knew if that can move.

Laser level and string test with very tightly knotted fishing line and tires line up exact.

1 thread went dead and it’s buried after a couple days 2 everyone talking about tie rods when the wheels didn’t move. Was hoping for other ideas before finally giving up and adjusting tie rods. I have never came across a car to need tie tod adjustment if the tire toes didn’t move. Literally ran...

Lifted and modified Sierra 1500 truck with completely open front end took a ding from a hidden 3 ft tall poll, the truck rolled into it as I was watching traffic to my left and turning right from a McDonald’s exit there was a random pole that looked like they removed and left a stump. ONLY hit...

N Nope. First thing I checked when the thumping started. Took off the flex plate shield and rotated engine. Every screw on point. Also no junkyard lol maybe ls swap idk. But has a lot of off road parts and a lot of money.
