See Profs #15 above.

Ok forged aftermarket connecting rods- check
forged aftermarket pistons- check
coated bearings- check
now what else?????
BigRed460 said:Oiling issues may be part of the cause, but other than brats motor I think every blown motor has been a RC. Most of them(all that I can find) have raised rev limiters via either the sct or some other tune. Add one missed shift, i.e. 2nd back to first, rpms in the 7,000+ range instantly...
...look at all the pictures that have been posted, the #3 rod (and normaly another one or two) are bent and/or stretched, yes the #3 rod has oiling problems, but it seems only to affect higher rpm motors...

kyle's srt10 said:(flyinglow's) motor blew and he has a QC but that was a STS kit Also it's not always rpm's that blow the motor Mine wasn't turning but about 3500rpm's when it tossed it's cookies I believe (correct me if I'm wrong somebody) that alot of times they go at peak torque:dontknow: With my roe setup it comes on strong at 3500rpm's and that's where it let go on me

I have read that gear rotor oil pumps cavitate above 5000 rpm, if this is true, it certainly does not help the problem.BigRed460 said:Oiling issues may be part of the cause, but other than brats motor I think every blown motor has been a RC.

This whole delemma is especially scary for me because everytime I hop into the cockpit of #1900, I never THINK that #3 will fail on me for whatever reason. If Chrysler eff'ed up by installing weak parts that truly sucks. Shame on upper management for being penny smart and dollar foolish. No woner they make it especially hard for them to cover a warranty. But we bought into the issue so what else is there to do? Wait for the ticking clock to count down? That wouldn't be too wise from a financial standpoint.
I wouldn't mind dealing with the problem before it's too late. Forged internals seem to be the way to go. But from what I am seeing the nearest place to get mine done in regards to where I live would be the shop of the dreaded "H" name. In that case loading my Mossberg and offing the motor at close range myself would probably be the same thing as sending it to that infamous shop. Too bad his talents aren't consistantly used to do good for all and not just a chosen few.
This makes me feel better about babying my truck but sometimes I just want to let loose. :dontknow: Are there any other places in TX that can effectively install forged internals in the Gen III motor??
