Think my 5.9 Cummins locked up today. Heard some clattering when driving so I pulled over and checked everything and all liquids but nothing found and sound went away.
Later in the day the sound came back then left and I checked everything again. This did this a few more times then driving home down a 35mph street the engine died and I got it into a parking lot and called AAA for a tow home.
I tried to turn the engine over but it cranked for about a second or two but something kept the engine from turning over. Looked under the truck and there were about 10 drops of oil there, the truck has never leaked before.
I am going to try to get the truck towed to the dealer to have them look into it but the 100k warranty went out about 55k ago so I think I am screwed in so many ways as this is my truck to pull my trailer so I have to look for a 3/4 ton truck to rent if I can find one, a 1/2 ton would not work too good as the trailer is heavy when empty of water.
Just not sure what to think but this definately ruined a lot today.
Has anyone ever heard of this kind of sound coming and going before the engine locks up?
Thanks.
