Jeremy, Man sorry for the bad luck with your motor, If I would have thought about it,I would have given you my cell#, I have a buddy that runs a U-haul Business . It is about 15 minutes from my house. If I would have known, I could have called him,and would have been on my way to you. Once again,sorry man.

That is why my HP PMS is officially over. 400 on PMRs is enough for me. My only mods from here on will be cosmetic.

Well, I guess there's not much I can add to what's already been said. I remember the few times mine broke something on the road, I got mad at it for letting me down, but I was always able to limp on to get repairs, and then as I got my last look at my PSD in the rearview mirror of my Freightliner, I felt kind of like I was running off and abandoning a long time friend!
Hopefully you'll have things under control by the time I get to Lake Ozark, and we can still get together either down there or up in Columbia. I'm still in Iola, KS, and it's looking like I won't get to Lake Ozark until the second week in May at the earliest.
EDIT... It just occurred to me that my 9 year relationship with my PSD lasted 2 years longer than my first marriage, so I guess that PSD was putting out pretty good after all, but never as good as 435 HP!

Jermey,
Sorry to hear this man...
When you can give Jody a call. He wants to know if you can check the rods to see what they really are. At 435hp and forged rods this hard to comprehend.

Jeremy, That is a bad thing to happen to you and your truck. With that said, I can tell you are not one to cry over spilt milk. I know you will keep on keeping on. Maybe we all can learn something by what happened to you. Tear that thing down and let us know what you find out.
Mike, you are a trooper, in both ways. Good friends like you are good to have around. Lucky you guys were in a convoy.
Reps to both of you. Good luck.
