Well, I talked to a friend of mine today who told me about a 6.7 with bent rods and a windowed block. Truck was running Industrial's twin kit and a set of 100hp injectors.... This was the result.

I got the same pics, I hope these engines are going to hold more then 550HP

Im on the fence about it. The truck was running a host of aftermarket parts with no seat time by a tuner. Just a standard canned tune. Maybe a custom file makes the difference, maybe it doesn't.... its all speculation.
Notice the wrist pin?

Definitely got the same pictures... Seems like this truck had to of been 600+, i mean ive seen 500hp with just those compounds and fairly stock fueling.
But PMR's dont seem to hold up all that well

I don't believe there is enough fuel to support 600+.

Man that is brutal, aftermarket or not there has to be something done to correct that problem.

Alligator thought it was 600.... has any dyno'd the 100hp injectors with some aftermarket turbos?

I was under the impression that that was the first set installed in a truck. The stock CP4 pump has a hard time maintaining rail pressure with tuning alone.

Oh your probably right!!! So 550 and the rods let go.... What was fords reasoning for going PMR's anyway?
They are not PMR's, they are something else. Here is the info http://news.pickuptrucks.com/2009/0...-v-8-scorpion-power-stroke-diesel-engine.html
Suck if thats all they can hold, glad I got a 6.4 if thats the case.

Forged or not they look to be a pretty small rod. I dont think this motor failed catastrophically just due to the level of power the truck is at... I bet there is a little gremlin somewhere. Either way, I dont think its anywhere near as stout as a 6.4.

LoL what wrist pin ? Is it a magic trick ?
I was afraid this would be the case as far as max power goes but I didn't think it would be at such a relatively low power level. I thought it would hold up to at least 700 before scattering.

With as much as went into the bottom end of that engine by ford, I would surely hope to God it would hold more power than that, by a factor of 3!

Kind of hard to blend all the 6.7s into this category, one could be a fluke.... but this will definitely keep me away from the 6.7 for the time being.
My 7.3 held up better with stock bottom end
