Sucks. That's why the whole doing it all at once mentality has came about. Keeps from all the repeat breakages. Hopefully you'll get to have it all "bulletproofed" this time. I've been there before. Not fun.

I understand your frustration but that truck was fast for what you had done to it. After you put new pistons in it should hold up a long time, good luck.

It was all stock pistons and bottom end.

Any idea which cylinder it is?

If the cylinder walls aren't scored, is it possible just to swap pistons without pulling the bottom end apart?

The engine needs pulled and the bed plate and crank can stay in tact to swap pistons

Have to pull the engine to get the pan off. And taking the pan off and rods out to change pistons pretty well constitutes pulling the bottom end apart no matter how you slice it. If the bore is good then you may not have to take the whole engine down to a bare block and have it bored.
Robbie,
Hate to hear your frustrations, but you will never have a trouble free vehicle unless it's stock. Just comes with the territory.
Not to make light of your situation, but I've seen and had WAY worse things happen. Try building a whole new fully built engine and going 60 miles, loose a gallon of coolant, and pull it all back apart and buy a brand new block..... I believe Dillon knows how that is. Or being trapped 6 hours from home with a rod hanging out of the side of your block and a trailer hooked to the hitch.
Most of us have all had time where it seems like it can't get worse. But keep on, it's way more fun than quitting. Besides you'll get bored and get back into it after a while and do it all again.... Ask me how I know!
