Default Truck update

My truck's been in the shop for a couple weeks. It started running like crap and then tapping loudly. Shop quoted $12k to replace the engine saying they suspected a rod knock. Fast forward/skipping details and debates...They pulled the head and found a failed lifter and two bent push rods.

...in the head they worked on. Under the old management and a now fired mechanic, the lifter they replaced last year was done incorrectly. I'll be getting head done, new cam, new lifters, etc on their dime. They owned up to it. I was very pleasantly surprised.
