New duramax rods iv been working on

[zf>allison]

Is there really that much of a mark up on carrillos then? If these rods are arguably better and only cost $1500..why do carrillos and all the others average $2700?

Becausediesel:roflmao:

also as for breaking rods iv broken manley rods and carrillo rods did they return my money or oay for damage no they did not. as with any new product they where designed to work like said brands are it not hust a fluke and hope they hold up and work.

You broke a carrillo at 800hp?

Good luck man, hope it works out for you. Would be nice to have more reasonable priced stuff for the diesel market

you've broken Manley and Carillo rods in a duramax? at what power range? due to another hard part failure or just under power? I'm not saying I doubt you but well, i sort of do doubt that. breaking them under power is a very rare occurrence and takes a tremendous amount of power. usually a piston will fail first.

I think you will be hard pressed to get anyone knowledgeable to buy a set of these and run them in a high hp truck. you are completely unknown, with a completely unproven product, and with no evidence other than your word that they are strong and that they are in your truck.

good luck.

thanks

Your biggest hurdle here is the whole duramax tuner incident. Many still remember promises of a cheaper rod that could take some power, and how well that ended. Your 2nd problem is you're an unknown, and many after being burned by a known, will not give an unknown a chance. I wish you luck, but I fear these will be a tough sell.

 

[Pootrol]

thanks mate i know itll be hard to get in but i thought i might aswell working on other things aswell ill keep using them as i have faith in them im willing to do some cheaper fir teaters for first couple of sets

You've got a big hurdle to overcome. I personally saw the failed rods and was having a local machinist make me a set when I pulled the plug (not worth the risk for me).

If you SERIOUS about the quality claims of this rod, you would GIVE a set to a reputable builder and have them tested (say Fleece).

If they give you their blessing, then you will be selling rods hand over fist at that price. I'd buy a set (maybe two).

 

[Pootrol]

ill send a set to a builder at a cheap price. the weight is 1145 grams

 

[PACougar]

What's are the end weights?

 

[Pootrol]

a tad more weight than i wanted but didnt want to sacrifice and strength they balanced up great in the 3 engines we have built

 

[Pootrol]

ill need to waight till i can get ahild of my balancer to confirm end weights
