No internal engine mods as it was replaced by the insurance company so you get what you get. I was just happy that I didn't have to pay the bill was around $ 17000. The original injector problem was a bad coil on the top of the injector when they replaced the injector they hydro locked the engine which is what caused the rod out the block well actually it was 2 rods one each side I would say it broke the crank. The new engine ran for 5 minutes and did the same thing but on # 3 injector the coil died they replaced the top with the one from the new injector on the old motor and it has been fine since.

The way our motor is designed with the injectors firing off of high pressure engine oil, the oil rail in the motor will drain down into the piston when you remove an injector. You have to remove this oil before you fire the engine back up. I guess they learned that the hard way.
Glad to hear every things back up and running and you didn't foot the bill.

I know the 05 has but not sure about the 06 I think 06 is when they stopped bringing them in, not sure if it was at the begining of the year or the end. I personally have never seen a 6L one in Australia I beleive that only 9000 were sold Australia wide. I think that includes 5.4's and the one's with a six cylinder cummins engine. When I get my Truck back in a few weeks I will get my hand brake to take a photo of it and me and I will post it up steering wheel on the right side of the car and all
i
iPower Stroke Series
MWM INTERNATIONAL Motores
I thought you could get 4cyl or 6cyl international engines, but not cummins.

Hey Everyone thanks for your thoughts and help. Just got back from the dealership everything looked good {exepet the hole in the block and snaped rod} looks like the engine has hydrolicked when they replaced the injector. This would be why it smoked an was low on compresion and eventually led to the rod out the block.So it is with much joy that I tell you all that the dealership has said the will fix it free of charge. They are fitting a brand new long crate motor and I am going to kick in an extra 2500 to make it a complete crate motor new turbo and everything. Thanks again for everyone that has helped me with advice on this and other threads. I will now be right to compete in the upcoming Drag race season on my NOS Suzuki I am currently the Australian record holder for my class with a 7.74 sec @ 176MPH Thanks again

I agree with buying a new truck for $22000, instead of spending even 10K on it, I would look another truck for say 15k. Thats what I paid for mine.
And BTW can you get any parts down under?

We took the record at the Summer National in Sydney in Febuary we ran faster at the winternationals 7.49 @ 176 but could not back it up to reset the record due to a shifting gremlin, that is fixed now and we will test on the 30th of this month. I hope to go 7.20 @ 180 + when we get it to 60ft right. I have just bought a new 2 valve engine which makes 50 more Hp aspirated than the 4 valve one we are running now so fingers crossed it will take us into the 6's
