i got a 96 hardbody that had a real bad knock. i took a look and it sounded like the lifters were collapsed. sure enough i popped the valve cover and they were. i tossed new rockers in and it about took care of it, after i tossed them in and let it run for a while and i noticed it was overheating. i tryed moving it and it barely had enough power to get out of my girage. im gonna try a thermostat tomorow but im out of ideas about whats robbing the power. any advice on where to go next would be great.
