[QUOTE="TWEETER, post: 1500947, member: 613"] Howdy y'all. Been a long time since I have been on here since I traded my 6.0 for the 6.4. Never had any problems with the 6.4.....until I royally f'ed up. I'm a dumb*** so lets keep the negative crap down lol!! I went waaayyyy to long on my oil, eventually took out the small turbo. Ceased it right up. Had both turbos replaced, oil change and gas filters changed. The shop said the oil looked pretty bad, finally got it back(got it back in july, just haven't wanted to deal with it until now), had it back for 5 hours before I had to pull my 40' camper up to deer camp. I was on my way up the mountain when I noticed I wasn't getting anything over 40mph, I had just checked the stock gauge a min or 2 before that and it was fine. I threw it in neutral and revved it and didn't get much out of it. I put it back in drive and it died and the temp gauge pegged. I tried to start it a few times with no avail. Towed it up the road and out of the way. Pulled the trailer the rest of the way to camp with my brother in laws 5.4, which did awesome. Came back down the next day to call the shop and get it towed down the mountain. I did get it to start, although it took a long crank like it was trying to get fuel or something. Got it down to the shop and they said they bore scoped the pan and one or two other spots and it had a lot of sludge in it and suggested I should probably look for another motor. My question is do I spend the money I don't necessarily have and have them break into it and really look at it or just do what I can to get another motor?? Having the oil sludge, how serious of damage am I probably looking at?? Should I have another shop dig into it?? Help please and THANK YOU!!! :fustrate::fustrate::fustrate: [/QUOTE]
