No compression check, I dont have the tools. Its going to the dealer this am, and hopefully they can diagnose it.
If its major it will probally wait until next year to get fixed as I am leaving for 10 months.

Sounds like bottom end to me... Thats almost the same "Clack Clack Clack" Noise I got.
A compression tester is only a couple bucks, screw it into the spark plug hole, remove coil wire and crank the engine over. Take a reading from each pistion and compare.

The rig got dropped of at toyota this am. Hopefully they can fit it into the schedule today.
The big things are the clank, only under load.
cylinders 3&4 are firing but only at maybe 10% power
coolant is 10 days old and cloudy
burn 20 second puff of oil after extended idle, 5-15 minutes
not appearing to me loosing/making coolant or oil

Looks like its probally a blown HG: Compression is 170-150-25-20
Probally blown between 3 and 4.
Not sure if I will have the stealership fix it, or wait until I get back from Afghanistan. The only reason I would fix it was so my wife had a spare rig. The engine wont really be hurt if it sits for 10 months. And if I do the work I can spend tons less and have the injectors cleaned, plenum cleaned...etc...

If your going to let it sit, I would drain all the water out of it, every little bit of water you can, change the oil, run the rig for a little bit to get the new oil all over everything. That way you don't have water mixed with the oil or sittin on your pistons, you leave that sit for to long and it'll be a full rebuild when you get back.

Yeah, it never got to the point where it was necessary. The runner, suppossedly, had a little carbon in one of the cylinders.. Once it got hot it burned it out. No charge. guess I'll seafoam it :-)
