OUCH!

Know what happened yet? That's not that many miles yet. What did it do when it cracked?

Sorry about your luck man.

 

Bought new, 12 years raising three young'uns/life (stock). Then 15 years starting with a 3200 spring, ending with triple turbos. Do the math.

Recent new spinny-things (smoked trans). New/custom 49RH trans. Getting ready for an upcoming dyno session, rolling along at 35mph, in OD with the converter locked, ride the brakes and build 25psig boost then, launch. Then it went to stomping.

The engine still started/ran just fine. No oil pressure (pump's good but has a broken mounting flange). Stomping hard one one cylinder. The stomp intensity follows the throttle.

 

Got my Alternator finished and installed today. Needed a new rotor and I had them install an internal regulator. Hopefully the internal regulator is more reliable than the 4 different external regs Ive replaced in 5 years.

 

Finally got my other front spring yesterday.This morning I’m going to start getting the front springs replaced.

 

Holy batcrap, Batman!

 

Well got my new front springs on today .Took her out for a spin ride was really nice not like a Hendrickson rode nice very pleased with the ride but the steering is to sensitive wants to wonder so I guess I’ll tear her all apart when I get a chance

 

This is the first I've heard of an engine breaking without the catastrophic explosion followed by smoke and flames. Glad it wasn't more serious. So you going to replace the engine entirely or just look for a short block?

 

The math adds up!

 

They have a + arch? How's the height?

 

I'm betting he had an accumulation of dihydrogen monoxide in his engine. That stuff kills thousands every year

 

They definitely have a + Arch .As far as the height it’s about 2” taller than my other springs but they were beefed up

 

He could have replaced the dihydrogen monoxide with 100% ethylene glycol.

 

Pulled the axle shafts last night since Pass side had no end play in the hub bearings and was running 5-10*deg hotter then the other side, not sure how that happened after my last brake/hub/seal service but it did. So reset both sides and crawled under neath looking for culprits for my driveline noise/vibration, well it to be Fair amount of play in one cup on the axle U-joint, little bit on the U-joint at the transfercase and the carrier bearing appears to be going south as well. I greased everything up for now but guess 6 years and 115K km's it's time for driveline servicing.

 

The scary thing about dihydrogen monoxide is that it exists naturally in the atmosphere. Inhaling too much of it can be fatal.
Why isn't the government doing something?! We could all be dead within 12 years!

 

Well I've heard it's become more scarce and rare out west, so anyone fearing dihydrogen monoxide could move out there, or Australia maybe?

We received an atmospheric dusting of the solid form last week and the concern was so great that it shut down the school system all day.
