Who makes long blocks???????

[SVENSONJR]

This morning going 100 loss power , white smoke, dripping oil, fire, no brake pedal at all. then stopped and put it in park and it wont hold the truck. I need to see what all i f@%ked up. Any ideas????

[chrisheltra]

Ok your post was a little difficult to read I need my decoder ring. Im assuming your truck stopped running, and caught on fire and all that good stuff?

Could be due to the 2# upper 8# lower and no Maf extender?

[SVENSONJR]

By the way i had the porsche until my truck let go at 100 up the don holt bridge. i saw him coming and mashed it and he didnt pass me until i let out my smoke parachute.

[SVENSONJR]

yeah i guess... but ran good on the dyno as far as A/F. just weak i guess

[chrisheltra]

What area of the truck is the oil coming from? Usually thats not a good sign. It usually means you threw a rod if the oil is coming fron the motor area. Not good. Get with Mike and Mitch to see if they cant help you diagnose your problem. If all else failes Mithc has a direct lne to JDM and can get you a new motor for a small fee.

[SVENSONJR]

yeah thats what im afraid of i know oil is not a good sign and neither is a slightly bent oil dipstick. i think the fire melted the wires to the trans and thats why i could get it in park.

[chrisheltra]

Try to contact Mike and/or Mitch both of them have pretty loose work sceduals (sp) and may be able to help right now.

[SVENSONJR]

thanks chris

[chrisheltra]

Sorry I cant help anymore than that right now. I hope you get it straightened out. Usually Im pretty optimistic, but unfortunatly this time I have to be a little pesimistic. Do you have a way to get in touch with them?

[SVENSONJR]

yeah talked to mike. i tryed to watch the oil pressure and it stayed up. the weird thing is the trans wont go into gear. my tow truck boss is taking it to his trans guy just incase.

[Zacharyx]

I'd call VTengines, or possibly MMR

[05Saleen]

Sorry to hear about your truck Frank. It don't sound good. :(

[SVENSONJR]

So I hear. First you were going to sell the truck now your going built? I guess Dayrl and Bill gave the money tree to you. After your done with it can I borrow it?

Looks like I may have the only stock block soon. Oh well Im used to being the slowest anyways.

[Lurch]

Check the lower part of the block by the starter for a small hole sounds like a major problem though Sorry to hear about it. PM me if you need anything to look for I let one go but it was easy to tell what happened to it all 8 rods let go. If I can help let me know just installed two JDM motors back to back Mitch P.S. I talk to JDM every week I can find the cost of a new motor they aren't cheap but Good The holes in block not a good sign but you will be faster. Good Luck!! Mitch

[05Saleen]

Here is a new long block reman. engine.

How about a cumming or powerstroke? that would be different

[chrisheltra]

[Mike]

You better not let John see that, better yet you better delete powerstroke all together. :lol:



Sorry to hear about your motor. Did I read it correctly that you do have a hole in the block?

[Jeff]

Damn sucks about your motor , but look at the plus side you can now go faster !

[Whaler]

Sorry to hear of your troubles.

[chrisheltra]

Sorry frank

When you get all the info give us the full skinny and what you plan to do next. Im pretty curious aswell Im sure are others.

[Lurch]

When Bill's motor blew up What we did as I am speaking from the Mechanic side is, Look at the price of a long block stock! Daryl and Bill were already pushing the limits on stock Internals So we priced the Engines x 2 and figured that if you want to go fast and feel like you are safe go with a great company and buy complete built if not the Stock NEW Engine is going to end up just like the first one blown up Jason just proved that. Then you will have more money in it then the built Motor. So my advice as the Mechanic is step back see where you want to go and what your goals are with the truck, I can tell you a lot about the options and can even do the install I'm sure if I call JDM we can come up with a custom built to fit your need's I'm getting to know all of them fairly well. I live in Goose Creek Cell # is 696-7004 Please do not call Thursday Dyno day will be a Nerve rattling day and busy. Look forward to talking to and meeting you!! Mitch.

If you have this money tree, then it sounds like a good time to get the GT supercar aluminum block, of course that would be around $4300 for the bare block after having it machined, for the starter and wetsump( but you will be 80lbs or so lighter up front). I think the 900 hp capable version of the MMR short block runs right just a little more than that.

[Ka-Chow]

White lightnings are nothing but trouble and money buckets. Every lightning is but the white ones just piss you off enough to want to sell the damn things

[SVENSONJR]

i hear ya chris (ka-chow). but like everybody is saying now i just go faster

[Zacharyx]

If you paint it Black it will be faster

[SVENSONJR]

doesnt matter what color it is right now....but WHITE will be a contender soon i hope

[Ka-Chow]

i hear ya chris (ka-chow). but like everybody is saying now i just go faster
eventually....but right now I hate to say it....... you are going absolutely nowhere. :lol: j/k

[SVENSONJR]

well geico is out looking at the truck, cant really see anything so now taking it to "performance deisel" to get it on the lift so they can look under it.

Ok Im lost here what the hell is the insurance company going to be able to do for you? Is there something I dont know about like an engine replacement plan?

[SVENSONJR]

some one told me to try. becuase my truck is covered if it catches fire. who knows. any help is better then nothing

Hope it works out for you. Let us know.

[Ka-Chow]

Thats something new to me. Never heard of that. Maybe the guy wont know how the hole in your block got there. well anyways goodluck with the truck.... all of these JDM engines are around this group. You should try a different one and see what happens. But JDM is very dependable from what I have seen around the screets

[SVENSONJR]

im thinking dss...they actually build them

[Ka-Chow]

tru dat homey.

[Richard Head]

So whats the deal with the insurance co.?

[SVENSONJR]

I called them out to see what they could do. The guy could not get under it. So he is waiting for it to get to a shop and on a lift. But knows it has a blown motor and hasnt said anything about it.

[Zacharyx]

You could always go this route
