It's a table with a fuzzy something laying on it. Does your LMTV have a table?

It looks like the thing that goes over by the doo dad that helps keep the whatchamacallit inline with the other thingy that controls the yaw and was inside of a tire.
it's a very bent push rod from a cat 3126 with only 1500 miles and the other is a valve bridge . Now I'm wondering why and how it could have had this kind of damage and what else might be busted as a result.
Could be an easy fix or???... The rocker was lose , so that is good news kinda

Over revving the motor perhaps?

Can you spin the engine? Either via alt pulley bolt or loosen the intake and by hand.

Something is seriously stuck ! Or jumped timing. Any parts in the top of the piston ?

3126 is computer controlled. Something has to really go wrong to over rev. Sometimes
stuff just comes loose in the head, things slip to the side. I have seen it a few times in mil engines.

Fun thread, but you had me stumped. I hope I never see one of those.

Whatever it is or did, it can't be good to have rust on it! You really shouldn't see that on an internal motor part.

That in part is what got me wondering about possibility of hydrolocked or maybe near hydrolocked engine might be how it got bent

It was in the little cubby by the cab controls. Been sitting in some rusty water for a period of time. I'm wondering about these black circles though and the scuff marks on the back. I bet that rod has a story to tell.
