There is a guy here in PHX that GM is telling no way. And he swears up and down that he doesnt have any programmer. He has multiple complaints of overheating of too. (its a LiLLY) I have only heard about it 2nd hand, but I should try and tell him about the guy who sued, mabey he can get his truck fixed.

Could the way the injector is positioned in the head be changed to sort of, "Redirect" the cutting torch?
Or would it just start "cutting" in the new position?

Thats what you WERE running or are going to run? I think Mick was getting at what were you running to blow it up that bad with less than 85k miles?

Thats right Jason - Sorry I didn't make that clear. Cody - did you have that on a dyno at all before you done the damage? If so what Hp and Tq did you have if you dont mind saying.

Yeah those guys don't want your money unless you have a mustang or something LSx powered.

Let me know when you are ready, I've got a good connection with a very diesel friendly load cell dyno.

Are you pulling your EGT's post turbo? That doesnt seem hot enough to do that much damage if you had your thermocouple pre-turbo. With Craigs tune just driving around at 60-65 my EGT's sit around 1000-1100 pre turbo. Mcrats is about 200 degrees cooler than that is all.
