    Clifford's Done

    Okay i made a for sale thread selling off all my parts...reason being after i put all this money into the 403 and getting it back going it died on me. Last Monday i was heading to work, got stuck in traffic and while i was idling there i start seeing smoke coming past me...it's real light so i pay no attention to it just figure its a little oil and the motor is still fresh with only 140 miles on it....so it starts getting worse, i look at the gauges and im also scanning it with hptuners and everything look great 175° water temp and 42psi oil pressure....and it proceeds to get worse, mind you truck is running fine so i open the door and look under the truck and its pouring smoke out of the exhaust, pull over and have Justin (SSwrecker) come tow me home....well i had to get to work so left Clifford there till i got home....pulled the plugs out and they all looked fine till number 7 and it was soaked in water...so i was like dammit and i wanted to make sure the motor would still turn fine so i turned it by hand and heard water shoot out and was like there it is and looked at number 7 and didnt see anything, so i looked at the passenger side and number 6 had shot oil/water mix out of it. So i put the tools up and went inside.

    After spending 8 grand to get it running again to have this happen...im done, i cant keep doing this....sometimes you just need to stop and take 2 steps back....and thats what im doing. Putting a stock LQ9 back in it with a stock cam and stock verter...maybe ill buy a car or something to build but for now clifford needs to be a good DD truck and be able to pull a trailer
