Thanks for answering. It still ran fine after the starter fluid other than it shut down again. He did mention the timing and that that was what it sounded like to him when we picked it up from the dealership yesterday. As of this moment it is still sitting on the trailer and will probably stay there until he gets his truck put back together this week. Thought I would in the meantime see what other info I could reap.
