Well boys and girls. Im now part of the bent rod club....... cyl 7 has 350psi, cyl 3 has 330psi and cyl 5 has 250psi.

Sorry to hear James, I had a feeling that high + balance rate was gonna be bad news
Sorry to hear that, looks like you will be building your motor sooner than you thought.Well boys and girls. Im now part of the bent rod club....... cyl 7 has 350psi, cyl 3 has 330psi and cyl 5 has 250psi.

So did i. My gut kept pointin to a bent rod but i kept tryin to think it was something easy
Id like to say yes but im also entertaining the idea of just throwin a good rod in it and runnin it for a while till i have the money for a motor. Guess i could start investing in the lotto
Anything I can do james, lemme know. I can run around and get parts down here if you need :thumb:
Ya I hear ya I came to terms with the fact the motor wasnt going to last so I started a fund a while back for when that time comes. You gotta pay to play as they say.

Test it again.
Damn that sucks James you can go the cheap route to temporary it up lbz-lmm rods I'm slowly working towards a built motor but think I'm going to use a reg to race an turn the CC down
i did three times lol. first time hit 225, seond hit 250, third hit 250. did cyl 7 twice and cly 3 twice and they hit 350-330 each time. its done
That sucks man.
Na, trents tuning but i doubt it had anything to do with that. EGTs never were over 1400 on the big tune under WOT and judging by my time slip, my HP should be around 550-560. think i just had a weak motor
thanks for the offer brian, ill text ya what i plan to do and thank your MD-Dmax for the offer on the rods but i dunno what road i want to go down yet. to add to my bad weekend, the samurai decided to finally shit its piston rings and quit running as well. compression on all 4 cyl was 60psi (suppose to be 170-200). i knew they were pretty well worn due to how much oil it burned and loaded up on de-cel but hell, i didnt think it would jsut flat die with no warning lol.
At this point, im gunna get teh sami fixed (motor will cost 500 buck brand new
), then save and get my house, then pull the motor and do a full build on the diesel. i would do the motor now but the freakin banks are so damn picky on your debt ratios when your a first time buyer that i think they would decline a morgage for me having my motor loan on the books. I pretty much have no debt other than my tool box (owe 2k on it) so im doin good therel. hopefully ill be in a house by september and the motor process can start. When i do the motor, ill be doin the good rods, not LBZ only because i dont wanna worry about them. I plan to run around 650hp (maybe more if the current twins will support it but no more than 700). course this could all change in a month depending on how things go but thats my idea so farboy its been a hell of a weekend.....
Shit happens. But it sounds like you have a decent plan to get the truck back on the road, so you're already ahead of the game. Good luck.
