Kicked A Rod

[l8rg8rz]

My 3-4 rod bearing went at 32K with no mods at all. Rebuilt by Dodge after almost 3 months. I have 52K now, still no mods but I do have magnaflow and airbox to go in. Did centerforce w/viper slave three days ago on my new lift
I would buy a used engine and drop it in. I hope for your wife.

Yes it had Sunoco gas in it Super- and I usually run the Pro Blend Additive. It was a mail order tune through this site.

Were you noticing any pinging??

 

[Westxsrt10]

post it up again, or just search (more then likely just lost in threads)

Lots of information in this site! I never was one for additives.

Sorry to hear about your trucks mortaly wounded engine,
First thing to do is get some sleep!
Take a deep breath,set a plan and build it better!
The intake bolts could be a real pain when your up for about 30 hrs.

Tim, Where you been bro:dontknow:

Hey Kyle,

I'm still here and kickin.

Thanks for askin!

the bad thing about headers and loud mufflers is that you can't hear that rod tapping. Before a rod lets go like that, it will tap for several thousand miles. Then it becomes a knock. then it lets go.

I hope you're able to find what you need to fix it! Brad was able to find a new motor for his truck so I'm sure you'll find one too.

I got a few connections working for me on this. One of them is a big service manager for Dodge. He said there's no reason for this to happen. He is seeing if he can get Dodge to do something about this. I got my fingers and toes and other extremities crossed.

This sucks.

I went through this last year. I have an extra crank you are welcome to if you need it.

Did your #3 let go too?

 

[RedSrt007]

it sucks....3 goes almost every time, whether its the piston, bearing, rod, something...poor design.

Who has the best prices for Manley Forged rods?

 

[HaulinAsp]

Loads of oil throughout intake.....

 

[HaulinAsp]

Getting the radiator and electric fan out sucked major balls........

 

[HaulinAsp]

Just about ready to yank, removed the alt, ps pump thermostat housing off the front of the engine.....

Major kudo's to you for doing it yourself!! Any ideas of the plans you have once you get another motor?
