Guess what I am saying is are you sure the crank is junk? Who knows how long it has been running this way.

I bought a USED truck , I took a chance .Yes I got a short season out of it , 30,000 miles. Looks like a piece of metal/dirt got into the oil journal and ate the bearing and the crank on number one . Yes I was doing p m . I dont know what it was used for exactly .No oil pressure problems .At 20000 hours , yes I thought it was time , but at the same time know absolutley no history on it , so it could have been done , no it was not .Crank is junk . Something got in there and I don't think it was on my watch . I ordered the new one today ...complete , turbo , ecm,aircompressor ,ect just bolt it in and go .Say what you want ..to many what ifs and unknowns and just who has a 565 sitting ready. By the time you add all the new crap to redo the old crap and get your warranty your not far off from the bolt in model. Hey you know who really wants the emissions crap .Not me and I am not seeing buying a new thing for 170k when the used thing .. I like ,I am married to it now.I have a 475, as well . I say she out does the 565 ,so I bet she was tired any way , but NO blow by .
