164k religious 5k oil changes with full synthetic.
Was driving today and suddenly engine locked up. No drop in oil pressure, plenty of oil on the dipstick,no overheating. No check engine lights no nothing until it locked up while diving then the low oil pressure light flickered. No crazy ticking, no loss in power. Just sudden engine seizure. Took the belt off, didn’t help, pulled 3 plugs, no change.
Starter tries to kick over the engine and it rocks in the engine bay. Got it towed to a local rebuilder that has done 5.4 3v’s in the last week. This truck has literally never had a problem outside of a wheel bearing!
What gives?
