Unless he has a straight 6, it would have to be two bad cylinder heads. And unless some thing really bad happened (ie overheated the truck really bad), thats kind of unusual.

yeah I kinda missed the s key there... I'd check to see what the valves are doing myself... these trucks quite frequently round off the cam lobes... also like was stated stuck valves... maybe time for the new cam, lifters, and some Vortech heads

Don't forget a new intake to match those Vortec heads.

Wow! So you have one dead cylinder on each side of the engine? That's ugly...
Let us know what the results of the autopsy reveal!

But of course
... thinking I'm going to go w/ new TBI to vortech intake... Gotta talk to TPIS and see how much they can modify my chip and what cam... probably will step up to a turbo city bored out TBI unit as well.

0 compression? That is almost impossible. I had two wrist pins come out of a F##d in a boom truck and with 1/8 inch deep grooves in those two cylinder wall I still had 35 and 40 psi of compression with those big grooves. So Stuck valves might make sense, but even if the rings were missing you would get some kind of compression.
I thought I was wrong once,
but I was mistaken

If I'm thinking correctly, the cam being flat really shouldn't be the problem. Flat cam=no valve lift=high compression, right? Although with two opposing cylinders having problems, the only thing tying them together is the crank and cam, so that would be king of odd.
Stuck/bent valves could do it, a motor I have ingested a pipe plug (don't ask) and it rattled around until it caught the intake valve just right, and bent it. 0 compression afterwards. Hole in piston or really bad rings should result in billowing smoke from the tailpipe. At least a 2 or 4 valve job should be pretty cheap...or end up being a slightly more expensive and more powerful motor : )
Easy enough to pull the valve covers and see if anything is wrong up top too.
