I know it put a hole in something because I saw it, with a light like
surgeons use... fiber optic I think.

They replaced it, that's what the 10,000.00 plus charge is on the
bill.... just the engine.

At least it has a new warranty now.

I pulled with it for the first time today, I'm in Amarillo now.

It was louder than the old truck with the 7.3..... maybe the turbo or
something.

I really don't feel like they would have put in a new engine if they
thought they could repair it.
