Went by the dealership to check on the truck and the service guy let me see my old engine with the valve cover removed. They had pulled the cambearing caps and sure enough there was alot of scoring as well as fine metal shavings on top of the rockers. The engine was not sludged in the top end should get my truck back tomorow. I am going to follow whatever directions the dealer tells me to do as far first oil change on this engine and from that point on it will see nothing but MC 5w20 and MC oil filter. Whooo Hooo!

Driven the truck for a couple of weeks now. Two things I notice different since getting the truck back. First no knocking what so ever hot or cold and second no spark knocking while driving hot or cold. I am going to let the dealership who did the replacement do service on the truck until it goes out of waranty in about 15000 mile to be on the safe side.

So did your truck perform well before it hot, mine is acting up the same as you discribed, dealer told me that if i dont have all receipts I may have to pay to get the work done. I bought the truck at a used dealer a couple months ago with 60000kms on it with little to no history attached,it came off lease so figured all as in order. It was written in the ad that there was factory powertrain remaining yet im told that i dont have any!
