Wanted to see if anyone has any suggestions. I have a 99 Chevy 4500 box truck with isuzu diesel motor. Workers were driving down interstate last week and water pump hose blew. They told me it not get hot and pulled off the road within 100 yards of realizing there was a problem. Well I showed up put new hose back on filled it back up with antifreeze and water and cranked it. It was smoking bad and vibrating like hell. Just to get it off the interstate to have a safer place to look at it we limped it about 1/2 mile to nearest place we could safely get and by this time it had quit smoking and seemed like was running halfway normal. I decided to try to take it easy and try to get it back to shop to take a better look. Couple miles down the road is when bad knocking started. Immediately pulled off the road had it towed back to shop and here it still sits so I need some advice. Didn't want to just take it to just any mechanic without having a little knowledge of what is possibly going on. Sound like a $1000 fix or more like $5000 fix? Any suggestions or advice is appreciated! Thanks
