well after a little over 500,000km of abuse the old girl decided she had enough. idaho robs max effort tune along with a bd supermax and countless time spent above 1600*F took its toll on the old girl. I cracked a piston last friday night (oct 11,2013) passing on the highway on the 4th to 5th shift she loose. blew the oil fill cap off and it must have blown the rear main seal out from all the crankcase pressure.
