Heck, it's even outlasted a turbo, some lpop gears...

Well, I don't have to worry about losing the LPOP's in this engine again!! Woo hoo!!
We got the stock turbo back on today and took her for a test drive. Pulled out on the main road, got to 5 pounds boost and BOOM! Put a rod through the block!!
So, we're going to find out just how good this spare 2004 engine I bought is. We're going to keep the performance intake, the exhaust, the return regulated fuel system, the FASS 150/150, the Banks Intercooler and the ARP Studs.
Already sold the NOS system and the Water/Meth that I just installed. The 64mm Turbo is shot to crap. Still got the 2006 Turbo to put on the 2004 engine.
Bummin'!! I knew it was gonna hapen one day, but didn't think it'd be this soon. Well, I learned a lesson and soon as I can work some engineering things out, we'll soup her back up even better. I'll be in my third childhood about then!!

Ouch!! I still like my 7.3L.......I've seen too many problems with the 6.0 but you kinda had that one commin' LOL......I think you may have exceeded the limits of your motor just a little bit. Bummer dude.

My ol' 6.9 may not win many races, but it's still pulling strong...
Course, ya know, when ya get to boasting too much, it tends to kick you in the rear sometimes...
While I'm not well versed in the newer diesels, are the HPOP gears the oil pump, or the injection pressure? I recall mention of the engine oil pressure having something to do with injection. If your oil pressure dove, PLUS the diesel got into the oil, quite the recipe for disaster.. So did it warn you, or just kick the walls out to come for a visit unannounced?

There are some things that even that magic duct tape won't fix...
