Kinda Like a 20% pay raise!

 

I still miss my 7.3 @ 18mpg...I need to get that bad boy fixed

 

What's up everyone??!! Its been awhile ...been tuned 70000m now. Just rolled over 140000 as im making a delivery in west Texas. I will update more # soon just wanted to say hi!!

 

we've been wondering where you were traveling, and hopin you were busy!..
still running the SCT? I've since spartanized mine.. not enough miles to measure yet..

Sam

 

Working been crazy busy... oilfield has been unbelievable busy.... how's that spartan working for ya?? A couple months ago I had some engine issues... not sure if it was related to the tuner I had a rocker arm break..a bent push rod...screwed up lifters..it was all covered under the Ford esp. Lucky me

 

broken rockers seem to be starting to show up in multiple places.

you had a HPFP problem before that too, right?

don't know on the Spartan yet.. 1st tankful didn't show the gain I was expecting +2-3 (got 1 less as I think about it) . but I didn't slow down either.. so, 70mph still.

Sam

 

Yeah hpfp was a issue around 90000m....the mechanic said that both issues had nothing to do with my setup.he said the rocker arm are crap...there is a piece in them that is plastic and it breaks more than it should

 

plastic was your issue, but some of these others have been a different failure point.

 

After reading other threads it seems to be happening alot with rocker arms

 

Update since 9-1-10
Miles 71051
Saved $9236.63
Paid 25k for the truck not to bad

 

Ahh the memories...truck has 339,871miles now...

 

How is that even possible?

 

wow not bad bud, original engine? what has been done to get you there the 300,000 club is a mighty feat for the 6.4 thats what i am going for!

 

nice to see such high mileage as my next truck if its a diesel will more then likely be a 6.4

 

When I bought the truck it had 60-70k miles on it...I deleted the dpf...long story short I blew engine at 209k....replaced engine almost 2 years ago....the new engine has never been introduced to the dpf. And runs great still....
