Hey guys! I just did a compression test on my truck while I have it torn apart. New to these motors and diesels in general so if anyone could shine some light on this topic that would be great.

What do you guys make of these numbers? Looks to me like a rebuild might be in my very near future. I just got the truck and have it torn apart right now to have the IP rebuilt... Think I can get her 20,000 more miles to 200,000 miles before a rebuild/swap? IP rebuild and engine rebuild is quite a bullet to bite... but beats a $50,000 loan on a new truck that you can't even work on imo. Plus these things are so darn fun!!
