Ok Ford Enthusiasts,

So I was racing and doing between 130 and 150mph and all of a sudden white smoke started coming out thru the tailpipe. I pulled over a miles down the road and oil was everywhere, like I had no oil left in my truck. A certified mechanic looked at it and determined the back pressure caused the oil to blow out through the spark plug harness. And that because of the way the motor is missing or knocking that it probably dropped a piston or valve.
So in short I have a blown motor and still owe $22, 000 on my truck. It costs roughly $9, 000 to put a replacement motor. I am sick to my stomach. And am just posting this on here in hopes someone could give me some kind of good advice or any type of hope..
If I spend 9000 on a new motor, this could happen again. So im not thrilled about doing that. At the same time I would hate to lose this truck, which seems inevitable at this point. I could sale it for what its worth and eat the difference on what I still owe. Which sucks just as bad. Someone please give me a miracle answer to this nightmare.

Welcome..

Certified tech= Spark plug harness in a diesel-6.4?, 150 mph? :/ Tires are?

Puke'n oil and/or smoking and you pulled over 'mile/s' down the road? If your running an extreme power level and pushing it to the max plan for engine failure..

My 6.0 is pushing 400hp with a Diablo Predator (+65) and IMO running 100hp or more is temping the gods especially on an stock build. If it is indeed cooked, I'd break it down to see what failed, then possibly find a lower mileage mill out of a wreck etc. and do a swap. Might want to get a few if you plan to keep up the pace

 

I think I meant to say glow plug harness. Sorry.

 

Thought that's what you meant

So, you were running 120hp tune?

 

looking to buy truck if it was still available. if you could call me at 586-854-0663. thanks.

 

Put a 12valve Cummins motor in ur truck. 1994 to 1998 and make sure it has a p pump 7100. You shouldn't pay more than 2200 dollars for the engine and to make it have way more power just throw bigger injectors and modify the govern spring. The Cummins engine will go for million miles before any problem. I have a 2009 Ford f450 king ranch dually with a 1995 12vavle Cummins in it and I love it. The labor was a little long it took 110 hours to do with pulling the 6.4l and shorten the drive shafts and programming the computer. You can buy the wire hardness that plugs in for 5000 dollars for the 9 grand u spend in the 6.4 you could have a Ford with a Cummins pushing around 675 horse and 60psi no problem. I live in Wisconsin and I blow people away in my truck and everyone wonders y. Just be careful though like with my truck having 4.88 gears in it it's not a highway truck. Well good luck
