I agree with the low boost, advanced timing, etcetera, but I don't think tritont is ignorant. He knew what could happen and is manning up to his mistake.

wow! your definately making a splash in the pool on kidos day! i think maybe i could pull off a post like that because i would be using some or some and also becuase i have some history with these guys. but i wouldnt recommend coming here and bashing people so soon. you never know when you might need some of these guys help!

and there is nobody thats ignorant on these boards. everyone has some valuable input. tritont along with many on here are very knowlegdable, but sometimes bad things happen to the trucks

thanks Brett and Pauly.

I don't look at it as ignorance.... just having fun and my toy broke

Now I'll have 10 times the motor I had before, sooner than later
You can only play at the track for so long with a stock truck !

its his money. hes not asking for a collection to help him get back on the road. just telling of his experience so we might be able to avoid the same fate. is the isb a long block or a short block?

what are you talking about manning up? nobody on this thread is prego!

That's cool. When ever you're able is fine. It will be there a while anyway.

Thanks

Could it be possible that with what he is describing ( The anmount of oil) that it is leaking backed by pressure...Head gasket, bad cylinder rings pressurizing the lower end ??? Doubt that it is the turbo. What is your current oil level.... did you mistakenly overfill it?
Just trying to help...

She's still there! Good looking truck too! No motor in it, so it looks like a little more time to go!
