Truck down. I repeat. Truck down.

Seized solid. Put a bar on the crank and it won't budge either way even the slightest.

Pulled some oil and it looks o-k. A tiny amount of metal specs with the small sample we pulled but nothing overly alarming.

Worst part is I wasn't even driving it. I let my better half take it to pick up our daughter. First time anyone has driven it in years lol. Both her and our kid said it sounded like a thud-swoosh and then it shut down.

Wonder what would happen if you pull glow plugs and put a bar back on? Curious if one or two cracked nozzles would cause that.

Did you cut open the oil filter? How does the trans fluid look?

It's seized solid. I doubt(but you never know) that it's cracked nozzles.

We had a big bar on the crank and the motor was moving in the mounts slightly.

Never cut open the filter. Trans fluid is fine.

Hey, it's a great excuse to come visit the okanagan.

 

[White_monster]

Definitely is. That's where I moved to, got tired of the cold weather up north.

No.

Any updates on this?

 

[Kind]

A year and a half later I have an update lol. Work has been slow since 2015 around here so that’s why it’s taken so long.

Two broke Carrillo rods opposite to each other. The crank, cam , two rods and piston assemblies and the block are garbage. Everything else is good.

The rebuild is underway slowly.

Any ideas on the cause?

No nothing clear. Jordan was saying it’s one of the more odd engine failures he’s seen. I have had oiling malfunctions in the past but nothing looks like an oil starvation issue.

Nope lol. I wasn’t even driving it at the time. My better 3/4’s just finished picking up her daughter from my parents house. Pulled out on the highway from the side road got up to about 40mph and all they heard was poof. And she doesn’t bag on anything. When I drive they both start panicking if I make over 25psi of boost.

Probably a good thing I wasn’t driving because I would have been harder on the throttle and cause more damage. The fact that she drives it so passively probably saved parts.

Holy **** that is nasty sorry for your bad luck.

Heads are ok then. But that’s it?

**** happens when you play with 6.4’s haha.

Heads are good. Injectors are good. No real contamination in the oil to be concerned about... Other then the broken stuff in the pan. But nothing travelled to other parts.

What makes you think oil starvation? I have a similar failure and would like to know what happened for my own curiosity.

There was no signs of starvation. Other then rods suiciding themselves we don’t really know why it happened.
