I took the truck in because the oil pressure had dropped, due to check valve sticking gauge was acting up. The mechanic did a pressure test and replaced the gauge. A week later the engine starting acting up and I shut down immediately but it did no good. It is now tapping and the mechanic says it need a new engine or I need to trade it in. An engine for this model and year is at premium price because this problem seems to be common with this year and engines are in short supply. My mechanic found a few at approx $5500.00. I can almost get a new truck for that amount.
