Hey guys I have the car listed above R/t (5.7). Here’s the short story car started give me what I thought was power issues. Now when I say power issues. I mean car would still be running just couldn’t accelerate I would turn the car off and back on and the car would run fine for weeks. Before I had the problem again until one day I’m going about 120 and the car starts to “lose power “ I figured I can just cut it off and back on but it never came back on mechanic says start with the battery, replaced it Then the alternator replaced it. Still no crank. Now I’m being told I need a new engine I was also told to replace the head gasket but my oil was never checked (my dip stick broke). And my car never overheated or smoked. Side bar: We got the car cranked for about 5 seconds. It had a knock to it but then again the car had been sitting for about four to five months so honestly I expected knocking.
I try to crank it at least once a week, I never get anything.
But today I went to crank it and got clicking from the starter. So I don’t think it’s my engine, but I’m no expert. So here I am asking for the experts opinion
Please help I don't want to buy an engine.
