Tyler, my truck has been running pretty rough lately. Starting Sun. morning, As I parked my truck to go hunting, I noticed some white smoke coming from the exhaust, and I noticed a slight scent of anti-freeze. I smelled the exhaust, it didn"t smell like anti-freeze, looked like moisture coming out of the exhaust. Started smoking again on the way home, and at work yesterday. On the way home last night, I stopped at a stop sign and noticed something didn"t feel right. I turned off the radio and the truck was rockin". When I got home, which was only 1-2 miles more, I opened the hood and the engine is rocking, not vibrating, but making major movement, still puffing out the white "cloud". My brother thinks I may have lost a piston. I will look closer tonight after work. The truck has 140k miles on it and I"ve had it for 2, going on 3 years, and would like to keep it a little longer if I can. Thanks for the help, Rich
