I took my GMC in to the shop today to have it looked over before some upcoming travel, and they informed me that the number 3 cylinder is dead. Thus far they've only disconnected the plug wire (didn't have any effect on engine idle) and did the paper-over-the-exhaust-pipe test (paper got sucked in). Tomorrow they're going to do a compression and leak down test.

The engine has about 15k miles on a rebuild which was done back in 2004. I'm hoping it is something simple, but it's not looking good. More to come....
