get the pump fixed and you can get a rebuild kit for like $300. Do it yourself have your dad help. Worst you can do is ruin the motor and it sounds like that is gonna happen anyway.

You can still adjust the timing by twisting the distributor cap, but first under the dash close to the computer there is a brown wire that needs to be unplugged. This is your electronic control, if its not unplugged don't bother like you said cause it will wonder all over and look way off. unplug it and see if your timing is @ 0 this is where it should be , ifits advance some how maybe thats your knock, Also when you changed the oil did you get the right filter sometimes those cross-referenced ones are exact size but don't have the flow back valve in it. Unless thats only for 4x4's where the filter is sidways? check into this to. Most likely if its still running, you don't need a new engine, likely just a rebuild maybe even just a top end . If your real lucky maybe just a stuck lifter.

i got the best fram filter i could find $11. so i dont think its the filter. i highly doubt its the timing because the truck runs fine at cold start up. i think im gonna get a rebuild if the internals arent shot to bits.

P.S

i really appreciate all this feedback. thanks guys!

Does it come w/ a hottank, a kit for magnifluxing, and something to bore and deck the block, and mill the heads. Can I have a link please..? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/waycrazy.gif.f4a380c3f94043939fd369defd9e6be2.gif

Nope it doesnt but I was told his dad was a mechanic and he would have connections to get the block and heads done cheap. Thus my statement for the rebuild kit.
