The shop stated we should just go ahead and order a new engine and it's not worth digging into the lower end of the engine. I took the truck to another shop and right off the bat we could smell fuel on the oil dipstick. We thought it might be the injectors were not seated correctly or the return lines were leaking. They just mentioned those all checked out OK. Does anyone have any other ideas? I can't afford a new engine!
Thanks!!
