Damn, that's some bad news. Well hopefully they'll last a while till I at least get the other problems sorted out.

That does seem kinda high. But then again I was shocked to find out that my 300k 5.7 had between 190-210psi on all 8, deepest anyone has ever been into it was a headgasket replacement, so that means factory rings in those cylinders still.So I waived the white flag on trying to get all this stuff done myself before I really need the truck this weekend. Took it to my mechanic for new shocks, new distributor, new ignition coil, and trying to get to the bottom of the rough idle problem. I also had him do a compression test. I don't have the truck yet, but I just called to see how it was going. He said compression was 240-260 on all the cylinders! This seemed crazy high to me, and he was pretty surprised, and was expecting around 180 psi. It's only got 115K on it, and my grandfather took great care of it, but does this seem right?!
