MAN THAT SUCKS

Swede's a good guy, and one of the first to run a KB.
He's been running his for quite some time,
and I know he spent much time tuning to it.

I hate reading AND SEEING our Rods in pieces





I cant' wait for the typical reply to this post

 

Un common to see a 2000 block in pieces...

Hate to see it no matter the year ....

15 lbs of boost = what an 8# pulley ?

Just read his page - He was running a KB with 5# lower

Although I'm sure he caused the failure, it still sucks what happened. I can always empathize with that if nothing else.

 

You gotta pay to play!

 

Actually it sort of looks like the piston and the wrist pin let loose...detonation? Too bad either way... :-(

 

I'm POSITIVE FORD will cover that under warranty.

 

BTW
15 lbs of boost isn't that high at all,
Stock is 8-9
add a 4+2 pulley
+ a good filter (@2more lbs)
and you got every bit of that
I do
There's got to be thousands of us running that much boost

 

Thats another reason why mines staying stock until the warranty's up.
Sorry to hear of his misfortunes

 

Hey Gator

I heard you tried that line on this Girl

 

Thats my Mom

 

The swede is screwed -- his rims will never roll the same again- He should sell me his rims for cheap and cut his loses early

 

Man that sucks. I hope he has the means of being able to put a motor together back there. The shipping cost to there from the states for a built motor would be enormous.

Im sure he will get rolling soon.

 

The swede was daily driving on a Stock block with a KB for a long time.

I for one applaud what he did.

He was basically R&Ding for the rest of us. He showed the KB can withstand some miles(most KBs in the beginning were 1/4 mile queens) and how far the stock block will go.

Sorry to hear what happened , but thanks Swede for helping out the L community.

Im with gator.... when my warranty is up, I will start to mod my truck with a chip and filter, maybe even a pulley.....
