Getting my 15 back on the road!

[Jacob @ No Limit]

June 23rd my truck decided it only needed 6 rods inside the block! :doh: Started tear down that weekend. What a mess it had made as well. Picked plenty of parts up off the road going back a few hundred feet lol. Just picked up my m
Midwest built option 2 long block and street trans a week ago. Prepped and painted the block, valve covers, and compressor housing “old ford blue”. Painted the engine mounts black, and plan to do some painting in the engine bay as well.

how many miles was on your rig when that happened?

 

[TrickTruck]

Ouch.
Expensive lesson. What were you feeding it when the rods exited?

Still shouldn't have let go that soon I don't think, jomax ran the piss outta his for well over 100k on a race tune

Makes me think the next time I'm towing the toy hauler I should take a moment and click the EZlynk switch down a few clicks...

Yea no more towing 15k tractors and hay for me on the race tune

Smart to always bump it down when towing heavy. Mine was typically always on 5

I'm thinking on grades towing might be worth holding it in 4/5 and spin faster up hills rather then letting it stay in 6th locked and lug up the hill like I've been doing on cruise control. Boost just raises usually doesn't ever downshift.

I thought anything was safe with stock fuel... Seeing how some people are running dual fuelers with stock blocks
Hope the '17s hold up more to the abuse

Not always safe, timing is hard on rods too, not just fuel or air. This thing took plenty of abuse for a stock engine/stock trans truck.

Think the warhammer runs pretty hard timing for it to blow on stock fuel. Not saying its not possibly due to skinny ass rods but dam.
