I decided to pull the motor due to some leaks and bad injectors. Finally got the motor apart and I found out I have a broken crank and bad injectors. :mad: so does anyone here have any advice or have a short block for sale? Im not quite sure what to do so any advice would help. Thanks

Sorry to hear. How many miles do you think you drove on the broken crank before you decided to pull it apart?

Guess you've got to add some more top-end to that 1000hp budget.

Not many. The truck shut off on my way to work. Ran rough as hell at idle, threw a code for the cam sensor. Replaced the cam sensor, it idled great but loped and smoked it's balls off under load. Then I decided to pull the motor.

There is a tab that sticks out the side of the head on both gaskets. It's got holes pressed in it, there is a legend of the hole code somewhere on this site

Yeah it's definitely pretty terrible. Sounds like the bad luck is kicking everyone's ass right now
