VelociRaptor 600 Raptor burnt to ashes...

[logger1968]

All coolant water was discharged into the engine when the problem happend. The dealer would not accept waranty repair if it is a user fault especially where i live.

I'm glad the dealer of the fake truck is going to warranty your fake engine for you. I wonder if a real truck manufacturer would do that...

I kid, I kid...hope your truck gets fixed and all is well with the new engine. This is the first many of us have heard of engine failure in a stock 6.2. Hopefully it will be the last

Guys why would i share this with you if i know that i did something wrong. Again my intention is for all of you to avoid this situation and again i am telling you that my problem was solved and my Raptor is up and running but when i saw the burning picture of another Raptor and also in my country i got ignited.
So this is for everyone to be careful and take care.
As Maxican Raptor said the objective of this forume is to share problems, ideas and cooperate not to insult or make fun of each others.

keep in mind that your first post here was saying how much the raptor sucked. if you had a little more reserve when you initially posted no one here would have posted negative comments. we are definitely all here to ask questions and get/give answers to just about anything. but in order to have decent answers and comments returned to you, you need to be a little more respectful.

just my thoughts......

The initial post, the poor grammar, and the references to an engine that "broke". My wife is no gear head, but she'd never say something like that. If she did, it would be met with "what the hell does that even mean??" that's a useless statement, as far as I'm concerned akin to My Dixie Wrecked.

Sorry, I've endured too much pain in this thread. I won't post random mean posts here anymore.

6 weeks ago i was on a trip from Oman to Dubai (about 300km distance) with my family and on the way back my wife told me there is a ticking or clicking sound in the engine but i could not hear it. This sound according to her is not continues sometimes she can hear sometimes she can not but it looks like that the sound is more obvious when the speed increased from idle speed to a higher speed only at the begining (i.e. from 120km/hr to 130km/hr) the change in speed is not required to be at a sharp acceleration for the noise to be heared even at a smooth increase but always at the begining of the change or when you slow down. At this point i still could not recognize the sound or hear this is all according to my wife. Upon arrival at home on Thursday evening, the vehicle was parked and i started it on Friday evening around 7pm and as soon as engine started there was an ugly knocking noise which lasts for one or two seconds but then it can be heared once you rev. the engine at the start of the rev. I called the guy who sold me the vehicle in the dealership because i have his number and i told him that i am having a noise in my engine and he told me to bring it to the dealer workshop on Saturday (the next day). On saturday morning i took my daughter to her college (on the way) and continue to the dealer workshop just few km away from the dealer workshop the vehicle suddenly become heavy and there was a bang and smoke. I called them around 10 am and they come to collect the vehicle at 1:00 pm. The vehicle had 25k km at the time of the incident and it was serviced at the dealer place at 20k km. The front cylender of the right V side (passinger side) broke and the lower blok from the left side, also the passinger side head block is affected as well as it can be seen from the picture. Coolant temperature and oil pressure all was normal until the engine broke where i got a message saying low oil pressure.

Is this a new or used Raptor?

Anyhow, it sounds to me like it may have detonated/per-ignition.

How exactly did we go from talking about a Raptor that burned to the ground to talking about a "Broken" Raptor? I'm really not all that interested in the "broken" Raptor.
