Broken Crankshaft Count?
- Thread starter EDP
- Start date
Going to tear it down tomorrow and see if everything is ok. If it is too bad, probably have a stocker back in it and say f**k this thing lol. Tired of spending money on it already.
Yeah it really makes you loose faith in it with only 4,000 or so miles on the build and it was a brand new crank. If the rest of the engine is usable, going to put the old LMM crank back in it
That's a big bummer man sorry to hear that. Biggest reason I haven't built mine is rebuilding it. The initial 10k isn't a big deal its when it breaks again and again. If I had a RC/LB that would be a different story but a CC/SB... No longer worth it to me
All this is really making me rethink this go fast shit. The more I read the more I think I'll just beat on this stock motor. If it blows just put another $4k motor in and go again.
I know if mine lets go im getting out of it.
Sorry to hear Kyle,
I don't really want to give up on it but if all of it isn't salvageable, it will be a real possibility. I really never thought this is all the longer it would last
If my crank let's go and it don't tear shit up, I'll just throw another in it. If it chews things up, stocker goin in and I'm looking for a new truck
To be totally honest, I had more fun with stock engines in my LBZ and my first LB7. Over 100k miles of 500rwhp combined and not one problem. Building a motor is fun, puts a smile on your face, but at the end of the day your cost vs fun ratio is 100% different :roflmao:
The most fun I ever had pulling was with a stock motor. Like other things in life the statement KISS should be followed. If my crank breaks I'm just going to hang the truck from the roof in my shop and insure it as a piece of art. LOL
Nothing wrong with a used one if you get it inspected. Much cheaper than new and you do know what you have. Only as good as the machine shop though.

Sorry to hear Kyle,
And going to Cummins? Or buying a ring?
x2, stock motor 2.8 charger and mostly have projects that took more time than money. Building a motor throws that ratio way out of proportion by 10 fold.
Sorry to hear Harbin that sucks.
That's why I quit. My puller was nothing but a huge headache for the money and time invested. Most fun I had was my lly pulling work stock. The good old days! :thumb:

Things have certainly changed, when I bought my 02 my goal was to have a 13 sec truck, meaning 13.99. After that the price per second gets unreasonable. Get in the 11's and the cost per tenth is just as much it seems.
You can hang it next to ours, or I'll bring you ours to hang next to yours to keep each other company, lmao! That way they are at least in the company of other used to be pulling trucks...
2012 LML bad crank

Your info is correct but unfortunately this is not how it works. They void your warranty knowing most cant afford to hire a lawyer to fight them.
x2. GM is going to laugh and spit in your face if you blow your truck up and then come crawling back to the dealer waving the magnusson-moss BS flag.
That (the MM act) may have had a slight bit of merit in the 1970's, but today it doesnt mean jack diddly.
