Could be a short rod, cracked/holed piston. But I don't think it's that extreme. You gotta pay to play!! Was to be expected, the boost/fuel I'm pushing thru these internals was a ticking time bomb anyways...

Geez That's,Not Good. Hope It's Something Easy And Not So Expensive. Building Duramax Is Expensive!

Well, Parts alone for a HG job is $1000...if it's anything with rotating assembly it'll be 10 grand or more. I was waiting for this to happen

The engine I have price out right now is just over that. Bout 17,500. I don't think I'm gonna go that route tho, I'm probly gonna do LML slugs and rods. Can hold a respectable 850 flywheel hp and I can get em for about $150 a hole. Then a crank and hardware...

 

The engine I have planned out with blackout that price is me showing up, they do all the labour, machine work, tuning and button everything up. So the trip down to the states as a whole would cost me 20 grand...but I would have an engine that's built for 1000rwhp...

 

Carillo rods

Mahle pistons

Arp girdle/hardware

Premium bearings

Machine work

Welded crank

Keyed cam

 

It's what I want just don't know if I should spend that much. It's a lot of cash...

Can't take it with you.

Lol...honestly right now I have my house for sale and we are preparing to move across the country. Which is gonna cost a lot to begin with cuz economy back home is so crappy not gonna make any money on my house. To say the least it Didn't come at a very good time. I'm not rich lol, the wife unit is gonna shit a brick when she finds out how much this is gonna cost.

If my motor took a crap I honestly don't know what I'd do.

Don't worry I have a spare 5.3 sitting in the garage with 308k on it I can send to you lol

 

Sent while drinkin' a cold one...

    • Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge. 
    • There are no stickers in your glovebox?
    • Look at the numbers on the stickers in the door jam...
    • Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.
    • After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
