6.2 Blown Motor????

[debate]

Fast forward to last Saturday, he was on his way home and went to pass someone, the truck downshifted really "hard and crazy".

Sounds similar to what this HD owner experienced. Tiny piece of metal from the manufacturing of the 6r80e brain box got into the control contacts:

Dayum. With news like this, it makes me want to go back to stock with my truck and just enjoy the **** out of it the way it sits from the factory. It's already a beast, I don't think I'd miss the AIRAID and Tune. Can't really do much with the exhaust since I don't have the stock unit.

I wouldn't worry about it Swoop.....I think this is one of those one in a million type deals. There isn't a single production motor out there that hasn't had a catastrophic failure of some kind. My general rule of thumb, is a 500 mile break in, then run the **** out of it for 5000K miles and if all is good, then I start modding.

I can't wait until I blow up my engine. I'll have L&M Engines do a built engine for me. I still think they can get 600hp out of it and keep it N/A. Yes, I am a disturbed individual.

You're welcome. Do you know if they found any of those DTCs ?

Why wait????

Why wait????

I want to see how much abuse I can toss at the stock engine. So far it is holding up extremely well. That and my truck is in Cali, engine builder is in PA.

That sucks and is a bit strange to ask for permission. Its one thing to call a customer and say we're pulling down your engine, this may take awhile, I'll keep you updated, but to ask for permission. Couple things I would ask if I was in Rubens shoes. How much water was in the oil, was the level checked on the dipstick before hand? How mixed does it look, how much accumulation. And do you have some of my old oil so I can send it off for testing. If it contains coolant then you got solid ground to stand on. Also my 6.2 engine oil cooler was faulty which caused the coolant and oil to mix. Something else to look at.
