Nice! The Xtreme versions have the 5.3L V8 doesn't it?

 

Thast why I told you in the other thread to check the rods. I had the same ticking sound, and similar result, however my oil pan was pretty clean, just had this:

 

I honestly don't think it was my rods... I checked my compression and it all checked out perfectly, if a rod was bent my compression would have been low. Plus, there is no way to check the rods without disassembly of the engine.

Regardless, what is done is done. Time for a new engine.

S12 driver, the truck is a 4.3L V6. The Colorado comes with a 5.3L V8.

 

Alot of poeple think compression test tell you everything, they dont, they help but dont tell you alot. I had perfect within spec compression on the motor that broke the rod. It was slightly bent so that with each compression stroke it would slide on the pin and slap the inner part of the piston, eventually it just gave up.

So what you going to do about the motor? Build, or another stock one?

 

I'm going to build one...someday....lol

 

my old truck, except I had the extended cab and straight bed.
