[QUOTE="North Plains Drifter, post: 1334554, member: 19088"] I guess this might be considered a tow rig question as I use it tow my CJ around... I have a 87 motorhome with a chevy 454 and 92k miles. I take good care of it changing the oil etc... I was coming back from the coast tonight pulling a pretty good hill, with no trailer or anything, when it felt like it started to lose a little power. I dropped it down a gear got back up to 55 and it started getting warm, it didn't overheat. I just thought, wow, that was weird. The temp dropped right back down once I went over the top and it ran perfect the rest of the way home with plenty of power. When I pulled in the driveway there was a nasty sound coming from the engine. It's not real loud but I can't tell where the noise is coming from, valves or bottom end. I don't know if it spun a bearin, burned a valve etc... What's puzzling is it still has plenty of power and runs fine. Anybody have a guess? Probably time to sell it!:D [/QUOTE]
