Consumer Description

I TAKE GOOD CARE OF MY PICKUP HOWEVER IT HAS BROKEN DOWN ON ME. IT BEGAN WITH A SMALL SHUTTER. IT FELT LIKE THE PICKUP WAS HAVING ISSUES IDLING/ACCELERATING. ONLY AT LOW (5-10 MPH) SPEEDS DID I FEEL THE WEAKNESS/SHUTTER. I HAD THIS ISSUE FOR ABOUT 4 MONTHS, I JUST ASSUMED IT NEEDED A TUNE UP AND WAS PREPARED TO HAVE ONE DONE SOON. I WAS TOWING A TRAILER (STARTED OFF FINE) THEN AT A STOP SIGN FELT THAT THE ENGINE WAS NOW SHUTTERING/MISFIRING EVEN MORE. TOOK THE PICKUP TO MECHANIC THE NEXT DAY AND FOUND THAT VALVE 4 WAS STUCK OPEN AND HAD ESSENTIALLY MELTED ITS SELF OPEN. THIS IN TURN CAUSED THE PISTON TO GET DAMAGED AND NOW I'M FACED WITH REPLACING THE HEADS OR THE ENTIRE ENGINE. MY PICKUP HAS 110,000 HOWEVER (ACCORDING TO THE MECHANIC) THERE HAVE BEEN OTHER PICKUPS HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH AS LITTLE AS 80,000 MILES. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO FIND A RECALL ON WHAT I'VE EXPERIENCED. *NM
