No idea at all what happened...like Tim said...I was rolling 75 mph with the cruise set when it shuddered...I saw something bounce along side me...thought it was a blown tire...looked back and saw the black trail of death.

While I was waiting for the wrecker I walked down the road...found 2 pieces of block and a chunk of rod about 2" long...
I was on the phone with Alldiesels and decided to fire it up.

Talk about some bad rod slap.

It ran for about 4 revolutions then died....it's definitely a goner. I'll get under it tomorrow and try to see where it came out.

DieselGirli · 06-04-2007, 09:07 PM

Oh dear. I am soooooo sorry Rich, i feel like crying for you. I'd give ya a hug if i was closer lol.

BUCKSHOT · 06-04-2007, 09:13 PM

I dont think a hug would do it

You might just want to Hump his truck for him, but you might get just a little dirty.

SKYNYRD · 06-04-2007, 09:17 PM

not really sure if even humping his truck would help rich out in this situation.

*Jess@FarmboyFab* · 06-04-2007, 09:31 PM

wow. just wow.

Im sorry for your loss Richard...cause i know it feels like more than an engine

02 dodge4x4 5.9 · 06-04-2007, 09:52 PM

sorry to hear rich

DieselGirli · 06-04-2007, 09:55 PM

maybe humping something else besides his truck would make him feel better. lol. JK.

SKYNYRD · 06-04-2007, 10:02 PM

for some reason i knew that was cummin!! lol your such a tease whit.

DieselGirli · 06-04-2007, 10:10 PM

i cant help it. i have much love for Rich.

Burner · 06-04-2007, 10:20 PM

Man..that just sucks. If luck would have it, you were probably at the 1/2 way point home?

BFD99 · 06-04-2007, 10:29 PM

im only about 1.5 hours away everyday rich, if you need some tools or anything, not sure what you would need, but if you need any help doing anything just let me know, i was planning to drive out next week to check out the truck, and go for a ride

but i could drive out to at least see the truck and help you do anything if there would be anything i could do.

i need to go up to OKC sometime soon - like he said i doubt theres much youd need but while my time might be expensive my help is cheap (sometimes you get what you pay for tho

) and i usually come with a bottle of either crown or makers

BFD99 · 06-05-2007, 12:21 AM

plus if it helps, we have a air conditioned 40x60 shop with tons of tool and air power, and we have a cherry picker if you so required it, we would just have to get it here, but if brad drives up, i may have to drive out there at that time, so i can also see his truck...

Sorry to hear about the breakage UB.. I will bet it comes back stronger though. Are you going to stick with a 6.0 or do a Cummins swap????

Liftedpsd · 06-05-2007, 07:44 AM

How many miles on the motor rich?

*UNBROKEN* · 06-05-2007, 07:59 AM

138,000

*MOMBENZ* · 06-05-2007, 09:34 AM

What a bummer.

Not only was your truck fast, but very nice looking too. If you need anything at all, please let us know.

Thanks,
