My ole' reliable 6.5 decided it didn't like that title anymore this morning. On my way to work and engine at operating temp I pulled into traffic pretty normally, it started fine shifted into 2nd gear and shortly after it began making this terrible sound. It sounds see like it had no exhaust whatsoever AND all the rods were knocking at the same time. Pulled into a parking lot, later drove it on and off a trailer and that's it. Started it to make this video and at some point I lost oil pressure. Also noted was a very excessive amount of black smoke when I was loading on/off the trailer, and odd cranking (irregular sounding).
This ended up being a crank broken in two. The oil pressure dropped because the back half of the crank began getting loose enough to wack off the pump on its way around.
