The net is sooo slow over here... I just finished reading this and the other thread. But to whoever asked about me re-thinking the Van turbo & SS sticks, I have to say I had to ponder it. BUT, I think I'll go for it. There's only one way find out it mine will blow in the 350-375 range. I really want to get to that 400 mark, but I think I'll stick with the more conservative range for now. If it goes, it goes. Then I build a CTD for it. I look at it this way, if it goes, it was meant to, and a CR Cummins is cheaper than a new truck. If it doesn't, then I'll have fun with it anyway.

That was definately the case for me. I'm typically not very foul mouthed, but I believe there were a few choice words coming out of my mouth when mine blew.
I was going to say the same thing. Take out your inspection plug, have someone rotate the engine by hand (breaker bar on the balancer), and look to see what you have. If you see bolts on the end of the rod, you have PMR's. If you see a nut on a stud, they're forged.

Yeah, actually my girlfriend was almost in tears because she was so scared at the noise it made, almost like a gunshot when it initially blew and a few more very loud knocks and bangs. I could defanitely hear a rod spinning around greeting a bunch of internal parts. Oil, and water too. Im glad i got my truck out of that parking lot when i did instead of bringing a trailer the next day, because someone would have called the cops, i could have gotten cited for polluting. You all know how "illegal" it is to pour oil and antifreeze down the drain. Well i put about 4 gallons of each on the side of the road in the curb... There was an easy trail to spot from where the oil puddle was to where my truck was...

I've been trying to keep up with the discussions/info about PMR failures on PSN like you and others have. Just trying to see how your situation compared. With all the talk about cylinder pressure, larger than stock nozzles, back pressure, tuning, timing, yada yada yada.....
