[QUOTE="Matt Chamberlain, post: 1037546, member: 74713"] The dancing debris sounds were actually the rear / passenger timing chain intermittently smacking the block / head internally - due to a cheap aftermarket tensioner - threw in a new cheap aftermarket tensioner and truck runs great with no bad noises except front tensioner on cold starts sometimes, and just briefly. Also installed mechanical oil pressure gauge - reading 55 at cold start and 16/17 at hot idle (550rpm - seems a little slow.) truck has other issues such as steering gets heavy like 4wd is coming on and steering wheel rocks back and forth like a bent wheel and pulls to the left out of the blue - but will troubleshoot that and report back - or may crash. Hopefully, i will report back. :-) [/QUOTE]
