Description of the problem	Traveling at 40 mph truck started to shake. It then stalled out on a slow-braking turn. Had to limp home and then to garage using one foot on brake and one on gas to keep the rpms up. Initial diagnosis was a stuck air valve that made the fuel mixture too rich. Several cylinders were missing. It turned out that two valve springs were broken. Apparently this is pretty common. A lot of valve springs are being sold in the area. The truck had 73k miles on it and of course the warranty ran out at 70k. Defective valve springs costing a couple of bucks cost me over $1000 in repairs. I was lucky that the block wasn't damaged. For a while we thought we needed a new engine. *jb
