my ga16de rolled 212k miles the other day and it hit its limits. l8ly i have ben having a problem with my car. i thought the problem was detination cause thats what it sounded like but it wasnt really loud. well l8ly it was getting louder and louder and from a tap sound to a knocking sound. well i was taking a curve and i went to down shift and let the rpms drop and it died. i pulled over started it up again it died again wouldnt hold idle. so i started it up again giving gas you could clearly hear the knocking couldnt miss it was getting louder than my stereo. i dove it some ways till i was down the street from a buddy of mines house. well i came to a stop sign mashed the gass and got it to about 5krpm or so and hit 2nd then the car started to shake real bad and as i was 2 houses away from my friends house it died and never started again. first i thought it was bent valve but it then started sounding like piston slap. getting it towed to my house and ripping it apart to see the damage. hopefully getting a new motor will inform
