Driving into work one day

Got the bad news today.

Crank is broken, Ran for a while with the broken crank and cracked the block in 6 places.

I was not expecting that. It was still turning the front of the motor. Oh well, now the wife is really pissed. "That Damm Truck, why don't you throw some more money down the toliet"

Carnage everywhere!

Merry Christmas.... Last year it was me dealing with a failed head at this time.... I think that was the last head I got too....

Sorry to hear the news. At least you have the back up ride.
 
I have to pick up the remains from the machine shop next week.

I'll post the detail pictures, once I get pieces home.

John, I feel your pain, I wiped out my rig a few days ago......Trust me I know how you feel.

Good luck, with whatever route you go.

Louis, good luck putting yours back together!!

I'm looking for a bottom end. Have to see what I can find that the wife won't have a cow over!

Thanks, guys. This is what makes participating on the this site worth so much to all of us.
 
Picked up the pieces this morning.

The machine shop owner stated this was the worst broken 6.5 he had ever seen.

No that's not a main cap laying in the valley. It's the 2nd main journal web from the block! :eek:
