    Update on Godzilla

    LOL LOL LOL "de-mal'ing". Not into the Wyoming redneck stuff, huh? That was a nice truck before you got it. I'm sure it's even nicer now despite the power loss. Several of those engines, possibly transmissions you pulled out were in good running condition at the time they were pulled, right...

    I strongly suspect the oil pump failed on that one Bustedknuckles. There's a TSB out there requiring a bunch of the '17 power strokes do an oil pump function test involving a 2400 - 2500 rpm 1/2 hr+ high idle, then an 8 hour cold soak and restart while monitoring rpm's and the low pressure oil...

    thrust bearings looked perfect. only cylinder wall damage was some scuffing on 3 & 7. No skirt damage. the pistons in those cylinders made light contact with their valves, so those got replaced. They didn't hit hard enough to cause any damage to the heads, but valves in question were replaced...

    I'm good, thanks. There are no Elite parts on this truck.

    The pictured rods were on different journals, as the two that failed, shared a journal. The good one pictured was cyl 6. 3 and 7 failed. mains were "next to" each other. BTW, I'm not looking for somebody to diagnose the cause of failure for me, but anyone is more than welcome to speculate...

    what do you do on 6.4's or 6.7's? I've done both ways, but 6.4's are the worst imo, pulling turbos and up pipes to pull out a motor. :cursing:

    Update on Godzilla

    Dang. That's a nice truck Mal had. I suppose you'll put godzilla's old motor in that, and sell it? Have you kept track of how many different engines have even been in the truck? I bet the count is getting pretty high.

    The short block showed up yesterday, but I couldn't touch it until today because of some other vehicle taking presedenece. I was able to spend most of today on it though. These bearings are all from Erik's motor. I thought you guys might like to see the difference. New '17 short block...

    My new Warren Transmission is leaking

    Before it gets torn down, try to re-torque the pump bolts to the case. I'm curious to know if any of them are loose. that, and gasket and o ring condition between the pump and case.

    ...or because it makes the entire job easier to have the body out of the way. I pull the cab whenever I can if heads have to come off. It makes more sense to me because 90 minutes of pulling the cab at a leisurely pace makes the entire remainder of the job much simpler. don't get me wrong. I've...

    I've never understood the "ghetto fog" thing. It's completely useless if it's not "installed" on the truck. Not like it's gonna improve track time, and it's not like most of these trucks are set up for nitrous either. When I watch it, I'm just sitting there thinking ohh, somebody just generated...

    We do see it now and then, but less frequent on newer ones. To put it in perspective, the 6.7 has been out since early '10. That's almost 8 years production; more than the 6.0 and 6.4 combined. There's a huge amount of these 6.7's on the road, so when we see a problem like this only once every...

    hmm. weird. Oh, well. Not calling you a liar by any means. It's just interesting. Some problems are regional geographically speaking, and it makes me wonder if this is one of them. Take rust for example LOL Sounds like a bearing died as pertaining to the op's initial question. My guess is rod...

    I've seen like 3 total, and I've been working on these daily since they came out in '03. usually it's high miles and poor maintenance. I would by no means consider it on my top 100 things to worry about when purchasing a 6.0 truck.

    Yeah, on injection pumps, any evidence of rust in the system is automatic denial of warranty. It's the owner's responsibility to keep the fuel clean. A while back, we had a customer bring in their 6 month old truck with low miles for a "warranty" wiring harness repair. A rodent chewed through...
