I picked this truck up really cheap. It,s a93, f350 ,xlt ,4 door,4x4, 5speed, very clean in and out. $250.oo bucks. PROBLEM. My friend was driving the truck when it broke. He pulled a long hill with a load on. No problems. As he descended it developed a mis. It was immediatly shut off and trailered home. Initial inspection showed no obvious problems. He changed the oil and filter. It then developed a ticking noise, like a lifter. The longer he ran it, the more noises it made. Like gaulded bearings. Also, it took awhile for the oil to come up through the push rods. Oil pressure seems fine. I,m not to familiar with this motor. Any help will be appreciated. 130,000 miles,Fleet serviced. Thanks.

 

is the fuel turned up at all on the truck? does it have a pyro on it? sounds like he got the egts too high on that long hill. might want to see if there are any rockers loose. they aren't adjustable just tighten them down. maybe a blown headgasket. might sound like a tick if its really small. or an exhaust leak will sound like a tick too. look for soot spot anywhere there shouldn't be....
