Awaiting a short block as we speak....

he probably forgot to seafoam it.

A little JB Weld and that shit will be good as new.

 

[Twister]

Introducing the all new v6 powerstroke!


Did they hint at how that happened?

 

[shane96ranger]

Out of curiosity, is this a warranty replacement? Navistar will be boobing if it is.

Sent while I should be doing something else

 

[Sasquatch_Ryda]

No idea what led up to it.

The truck is still within its power train warranty.

Man, I don't want to see that right now. I'm going 3 hours north with a 12,000# trailer tomorrow and though my turbo'd 6.2 pulls it fine the egts are up there where it's scary. Your dam pictures aren't helping.

Ya but yours is a GM diesel... That's a ford! You should know better Will... Your trip should be problem free!

what do you define as scary Will? as long as your below 1200......

Plugged oil jets, bad bearings, bad oiling. Why does any 6.4 blow itself to bits?

Broken piston begets broken piston begets bent rod begets hole in block.

throttle body spacer should replace lost hp and increase mpg.

I am sure grandma was just driving on her way to church last Sunday and heard a funny noise...

I have heard it isn't terribly uncommon for 7 and 8 to let go if the regeneration system is very neglected.

Put a lope tune on it (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=22b27P9Pk9E)
replace the oil with water. lower viscosity = more power...durr
who needs coolant when you can just remove the front clip and you'll have enough cooling.

My truck is indirect injected with close to 22:1 compression, with a turbo. 1,200 would probably destroy it. I drive by the EGT and try to keep it under 1,000. Banks, who built the turbo kit, says 1,100 is the limit. During the winter this kind of load is no problem. It was mid 90s yesterday and I had to keep it at around 62mph to stay under 1,000. With the empty trailer on the way home, I ran 75 and it stayed between 900 and 1,000. This truck has lots of power, much more than the 7.3 Powerstroke in my van--you just can't always use it.

Here's what I was hauling--my Deere MC with a dozer kit. I bought a track loader a few weeks ago up in Chicago so I no longer needed the crawler to rescue my wheeled loader from the swamp. I sold this yesterday to a guy who is going to restore it. I commonly pull 10,000+ because my trailer weighs 6,000 empty, but normally it's around the county and not on the interstate. I don't care if the truck blows up a few miles from home because I have 2 spare engines. I just don't want it to strand me somewhere far away. So that's why I drive by EGT when I have to do a longer trip.

Take it easy towing with that GM 6.2. Last one that I was behind was towing a 5th wheel RV. I was drafting him since they were doing the same speed as me. Came to a long hill, not much climb, his diesel started puffing black smoke, then like a magic act, white smoke cloud. He lost all power and couldn't make it to the top of the hill. I backed off and turned on my hazards to get the drivers behind us to go around, plus I couldn't see his RV trailer with all the white smoke.
