This is pretty weird seeing how most mechanics we have talked to have never heard of a 6.5 snapping a timing chain. Even weirder it was just sitting there idling fine then just died like it was shut off with no strange noises (at this point the thought was the FSD was acting up again) until my dad attempting to restart it which resulted in a very quick series of awful noises (of the bending metal variety) and then turning over abnormally fast and free. Got the front cover and the valve covers off and so far have a torn apart timing chain and a bunch of bent push rods. Pretty weirded out by this one cuz it's definitely not a common issue (at least around here). Anyone got any ideas? Truck/engine has 170K miles on it.
