Am wondering why the rod windowed the block??? Even non turbo rods are strong enough for the boost pressure you get up to.
ive driven this truck every day for the past 2 years on this engine.
no more than 8 psi
it was time for a oil change, but still had the correct levels, and never dropped oil pressure.
i dont recall any heavy abuse before this issue started.
but of course i drove it pretty fierce.
it started out as a top end tick.
which now i know was a spun rod bearing.
i am truly amazed how quick it went from a spun bearing to a thrown rod.
i was not driving it when the rod went,
it happened on shut down after i had let it sit at 1500-2k for a few seconds.
the silver lining is that ive had this truck all up and down california, san diego to humboldt county...
trip to idaho, and that it ended up having a catastrophic failure at home is mind boggling.
i should have just pulled it from the gate, but i was determined to fix it.
well that determination just went a different route lol
