Engine #2
Popped engine #2 on Friday night-
Check back here in this thread for more pictures of burnt oil, scorched coolant, melted pistons, and any other misc. destruction I did soon!
This one managed to live a little over double the lifespan of #1, at 13,400 miles.

PSD,
Based on the time/day I would imagine it involved a race...either at the strip or on some Hendersonville backroad! Details, man details....give us some details!!! You've gotta' hold some kind of record for killing the 6.0! Maybe you should work for the big blue oval as a "tester". When I was in college at NCSU we broke so many mountain bike parts that the shop referred to us as "The Wrecking Crew". Maybe its time for a new name on FTE.

Update
Found out today
The carnage is nowhere near what we had expected- turned out fairly minor, no major short block damage. Good news for today, but I do believe it is time for interals now that the engine is out- no point in putting it back together stock only for it to come apart again.
I will post more on it soon, gotta go for right now.
Edit- Twin turbo is still a viable option once internals are done- both DPS and Hypermax have totally bolt-on setups, and will have the systems compatible with VGT soon. Only problem right now with that is $$$$$, DPS kit is 9600 and Hypermax (with air to water intercooler) is 12,300.
Notwithstanding unknown issues, the truck will see the twins sometime in its viable lifetime.
