How many miles are on the motor?
And did you do a compression test? That might tell you wether its worth a rebuild.
If you have a 1996-2001 You can do a turbo swap rather easily. Since your rebuilding, turbo parts are just a little more that N/A parts.

Try running the truck w/o the rad cap on it for a while to see if there is any
air pockets in the system. I know on my wife's car there was air in the line when she got a new heater core put in and it wouldn't even work until we got it out.

Are you sure the clicking isn't coming from the starter? If it's like a grinding noise on the right side of your engine it's most likely the starter is slipping.
EDIT: Nevermind I didn't see you said it's just a click. Sorry

I just took the head off my truck today. I'd been working on it for the last few days and the #1 cylinder has the same size
hairline crack as your #3 cylinder. But in my case there was no visible rust on the pistons, only oil. One of the #1 cylinder spark plugs had a smashed electrode, there is now a 1/2" gap. And I had a #4 cylinder spark plug coated with oil inside the cylinder and onto the ...

Initially I thought it was just a bad battery not flowing enough current. But others chimed in that it could have been a faulty alternator. Read on - it's
