The guy must have more money than brains. I dont understand how people can do that to a new truck like that or any truck for that matter.

x2345678 but lets discuss what actually happened to the motor. The way it cranked sounded like he blew out a couple injectors or maybe head gasket. What do the guru's say??

They way it was struggling to turn over so slowly when he was trying to get it started suggests to me that it was probably more than just injectors going wrong. I'm not really knowledgeable enough to pinpoint what's damaged just from that video, though. Maybe somebody with a little more experience can give us some insight.

If it was a 7.3, it woulda kept going till it ran outta fuel.


Looked like coolant pouring out. I suspect head gasket, and coolant filled cylinders, too. ??

The 6.4 are like any other motor, they need to be built properly to withstand any kind of abuse or high HP.

I guess Stupid is as Stupid does...

Even if the motor would have held, that dip$**7 just burned up $500 worth of tires (at least) trying to look cool. What a moron.
