Progress thread

I called 2 times. The first time he told me to change the speed limiter on it and when I did it didnt help. The second time they just sent me the same tune and told me to change something with the firmness of the shifting on my livewire. I don't have the truck any more. I don't think it was Eric that I talked but the guy talked like he was to busy to help. I just left it alone after that. Again I'm not bashing just telling you my experience with Innovative.

What about buying a good used motor and then build the old one?

swinky · Oct 5, 2014

Just so you know the engine doesn't need to come out to replace a piston. I'm doing a one piston swap right now. Just remove the upper and lower oil pan, lift the engine maybe 6" and you have plenty of room. Since you have the heads off already that's what I would do. Take you 2 more hours tops.

He needs to pull the engine and replace it with a bone stock 5.9L 12v and never modify it. Maybe then, he'd quit breaking stuff. Lol

Did you do Mains as well? It has 225k on it now and if I can make another 2 years on these I'll have a billet rod short block ready to be thrown in. I don't drive much, maybe 15k a year.
