Preliminary diagnosis is in fact, the coolant crossover failing, rapid loss of coolant at highway speed, rapid overheat warped valve covers enough to blow oil oil rapidly.
Dealer says they have seen it and 50%, in driver stops immediately, can be repaired. I'm having them do a compression test. If all cyls good on dry and wet test, then may repair. But likely engine is toast.
The irony is in my having already ordered the crossover and timing chain kit to change as a preventative measure. Will arrive next week. Oh well.
We will see mid week next, what shop says. Thanks everyone.
Cross your fingers. The timing chain noise dominates peoples concerns but the cross over is the silent killer. Chain noise won't destroy the engine...
I think mine (both pipes and water pump) were about 5-6 hrs labor + parts. I did mine pre-emptively at 72,000 miles when I bought the truck since it's such a common point of failure and have never regretted it.thinking about a preemptive change of our front and rear crossover pipes. Anyone have an idea what a decent indie shop would charge? Guessing dealer is stupid money.
Thanks
