Tick then knock and nothing with lost horsepower
Was driving my o3 dodge ram 1500 with 4.7.. and
it started making a tick sound at stop light has I
started to gain speed it went to knocks then
completly stopped ticks and knocks and I started
losing power until it was floored only going 10mph
and I pulled over at a car repair shop luckily I
thought at the moment as the truck died
completely. They happen to be outside and seen it
die. We poped the hood an the oil is almost
completely silver. . They said I need a all new
motor ($2000) but Im not sure if their trtn to get
one over on me.. I figured maby my rocker fell off
and my pins where getting shaved down to make
the silver oil. Maby a lash got stuck open and hit
the cam.. but do ya think I should just get a new
motor or replace parts and flush out what I have?
