May she Rest In Piece

I don't know if I should be Happy or Sad for you. I know that when my tranny blew I was actually sort of excited.

Was the spelling a Fraudian slip? Piece as in pieces instead peace? :laugh:

Sorry to hear about your motor.
600+ is just around the corner. IM excited for you. :jump:
When you pull the motor out tap the oil pan for the oil return. It will clean up your engine bay and you won't ever have to worry about it popping off again. You probably broke a nice chunk of piston off. Maybe even a few pistons. That would mean most of your boost is blowing past the piston's strait in to the pan. That is why your dip stick blew out and probably why the oil return connector blew apart.

If you decide you want to stay with a 5.3L I have one at the machine getting built with no one's name on it. :thumb:

Man i dont know what to say. :duh: If it were me I would be PISSED. :grr: :tantrum: But if I had the dollars to drop on a new heart then maybe it wouldnt be so bad. But your truck is a 2004 right?.. its still new.You must really LOVE your nephew.. :laugh: But Ill bet he feels really bad though. Thats why I hate to borrow anything from anybody because if you are using it and something breaks. Then you have that on your conscience. But its all good. :smile: You are gonna be "BIG DOGGING " with BEATERTRUCK and all those other guys in here. :thumb:

The stock crank can handle alot of hp but if you are tearing apart an engine why not go all the way and go with alot mreo cubes. I jsut couldnt bring myself to build a 370 when I could have a 418 but thats jsut me.

Pistons are still part of the bottom end heads cam and up are top end items IMO.

To answer your question if this has happened before YEP!! End of aug. my g/f slash wife was driving my truck to work.... I was having her Liberty serviced at our shop. Well somehow the high boost button got pushed while she was driving and it was out of meth( I wasnt concerned about it since meth doesnt even come on untill 8.5 psi. which is high boost)...... I got the phone call that the truck just stopped.....I got there to see a 12 ft puddle of coolant and 5w30 redline oil and a hole no bullshit 6 inches in dia. in the oil pan/block which was easy to see because the starter had been ripped off the block!All she could do was cry.. I felt really bad for her.But I bought a lq4 from Allen and a new cam and a 75 mm housing and as soon as work slows a little I will get back onto it. Best of luck getting her back together.

do you guys think a FMIC would be better than meth? i guess you wouldnt have to worry about running out of it if you had one. this is one of the reasons im going to buy one cause i dont want to worry about running out with the luck i have. :bash:

Newbomb turk wow she must have been in a hurry to use 8.5LBS of boost until the engine blows up! I can never stay on mine more than a few seconds then I have to slow down for traffic ect. Not to make fun of this I''m sure it wasn't funny. :sad:

How long will a tank of meth last? Do they come with an idiot light?

I thought I wanted meth. Now I'm seriously doubting :sad:

Jim as long as you dont run it low you will be fine. How long it will last is subjective cause it depends on where you set it to come on at and how hard you drive it. It comes with a little red light that comes on when it is activated. Generally the tanks on them are a gallon tank mjhoward has it on his truck set to come on at 8psi of boost going up to 13 with his radix. He gets on it probably twice a day 1st through second(60ish mph) think thats how he ahd it setup and it would last about a week and a half is what he told me. Its a good mod just have to set it up right and make sure you dont run it low. The light will only show whn th epump is on but it wont show that it is spraying the meth just takes the signal saying the motor is trying to spray meth into the engine so make sure its topped off.
