bent rod symptoms

Its far too subjective. Are you also going to ask how many times someone ran the truck at WOT or what tuning or number of drag races/sled pulls?
Or how bent the rods are 
I'm sure there are a few guys out there with some minor bending and don't know it

there are weak stock rods and strong stock rods. only way to find out what you have is to put the power to them. Nick's truck is probably the oldest truck here on borrowed time with stock rods and he just dynoed 650hp in a LLY.
my truck made it to 550hp and bent them.
the spread is large, if you play with fire, be prepared to be burned at some point.

Or don't want to know it.
This will probably go over a lot of heads, but truck setup (tire size) has a lot to do with it as well.... Big tires lug the engine (high cylinder pressure low rpm ie torque) longer than a small set of tires do... It's physics, the less time your motor spends in the big torque rod bending rpm band, the longer your rods will stay straight.
Didn't go over my head I like big tires but I also geared for it. However still thinking about dropping too 35s and keeping the 4.56s
I see someone was asking for an outcome. Truck is still running, and running good. Now that its camping season, the truck is getting used a lot.
