Message: [QUOTE="GotStroke, post: 1034507, member: 12508"] Well she has done it again. First time it was number 2 now number 8. Driving to work this morning, right before I got there there is a small straightaway that goes downhill and I bumped the shifter to drop it into 4th ,to prevent any harsh downshift on the trans, and slowly rolled into it from 2100 to about 2800 not even enough to break 45 EBP. Just a enough to smile. But as I coasted to the light I noticed a slight vibration at idle. Nothing major and too dark to see smoke. After leaving the light I go straight up a hill approximately 200 feet in length not very steep as soon as I left the light it was obvious she was sick. White smoke in the street lights, EGT spike as i went up and rough idle once I let out. Pulled into the construction yard and shut it down. After our prejob meeting I went to check for codes and nothing. I then had to back the truck out for equipment and moved out of the way preparing for a tow truck and took the vid below. Finally as you hear mid vid the computer recognized the fault. Codes for misfire on Cyl 8 and imbalance on Cyl 8 and Cyl 1. After that I shut her down and now continue my wonderful day. I've been babying this thing since Cyl 2 let go and now this. Curious on your thoughts. If its anything like last time, and its not missing near as bad, it will just be a piston. But I really don't want to have to do this again and wondering if I have a set of lemons for pistons. Both have let go under mild load with very little to no abuse prior. Nothing compared to what Morgan and some people are making. Prior to Cyl 2 cracking and after the Cyl 2 cracked I have always had what I consider excessive blow by. Constant haze around the truck, and with a slight wind a good trail. It has been tested and was within specs. [url]http://youtu.be/LOFIcjuYGzM[/url] [/QUOTE]
