Use penetrating oil to keep from breaking rusted or seized bolts. I use a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF. I’ve found that it works much better than PB Blaster, Liquid Wrench or even Kano Kroil. I keep mine in a refillable pressurized spray can. (and it’s a whole lot cheaper than any commercially available penetrating oil too)

I agree with Chris, get your tires balanced. However, being as it is a truck, if you have done any kind of off roading or anything, check to make sure that you don’t have mud or anything caked up on the inside of your wheels. I’ve seen plenty of times where that was causing the tire imbalance.

The video was there in the preview, but now it’s not showing up when the topic posted. Anyone know what I did wrong?
Never mind, I fixed it.

based on everything you’ve said and the pics you’ve posted, definitely sounds and looks like a blown head gasket is the culprit.

Just take the vehicle back there and ask them to balance check them on the road force. It’s free and only takes a few minutes. (provided they’re not super busy)

Most good tire shops have them. Don’t quote me on this, but I think all discount tire and belle tire shops have them. Where did you get them?

I’ve had 4 of these engines in the last few years come to me with a very similar noise, 3 times it was a cracked piston skirt. I tried to attach a picture, but it won’t work for some reason :huh:
