**** it, buy a plane ticket and visit them. Sickening these big companies wont back up their products anymore. Pure chickenshit.
I had Crowers in my first build that I had in the truck for the 2010 DPC. I hit it with nitrous from low RPM on the dyno to get a high torque number - probably did it 4-5 times. Also sprayed the hell out of it while towing the trailer. A month later I lost a piston (new stock cut and coated) after trapping 136 in the 1/4. I inspected the rods when I removed them and sent them back to Crower for a more in depth inspection and everything was fine with them. Sold them to a customer that we built a motor for and they are still doing fine now. Wonder if they had a bad batch of steel that you and delong both got some rods from.
That sucks.
When Simon bent a couple of Cunningham rods at about 1200 wheel hp, he sent them to Pat to measure and determine which ones bent who then sent them all to Cunningham who warrantied the whole lot and replaced them. They admitted a flaw in their early designs which had since been rectified.
That's what a company who stands behind their product does. Slim never even bought them directly from Cunningham but from another board member who bought them but never used them.
I currently have the warranty replacements in my truck.
Ive called 3 more times....last they saidbthebhad a diesel expert looking at my parts:spit: they promised to get back with me. Nothing.
Can I get a head count on who has had this happen. Kerry at Crower seems to think this is impossible or has never happened
Bullshit! For the price of these things I'd go apeshit if this happened to me. Glad I have Carrillos in my build. Then again, doesn't mean it can't happen with them too.
So I have a set that have failed and I know there is another set at the shop from one of the shop trucks
