Adventure Bus Curve Ball (Patreon)

Well the Adventure Bus decided to throw me a curve ball. Woke up this morning planning on driving it to some cool places to get pictures. It said no. It briefly started and sounded like it was really struggling, running on 6 or 7 cylinders, then totally shut off. After that no matter what I tried it wouldn't start again. Did a little bit of diagnosing. Ran some electrical tests, it passed them all. Checked the oil, it seemed to be free of metal. That was pretty much all I could do. I have a worrying feeling that something internal in the top end has failed, whether that's a stuck lifter, broken rocker, or whatever else, causing it to be a cylinder or two down and thus not run. Its on its way to a local diesel shop to be checked out. We'll see what happens. 😔
