Ok, I posted in anothers thread about this, but did not have the news i have now.
I posted a few weeks ago about how wonderful my 6.5 was running, I had reservations for the reason i am about to share with you. When i posted earlier, i was thinking my worse case scenerio was a new rebuilt injector was not injecting. I had the sound of a rod knock. Well, i just got the %$#^%$# news i spun a main bearing. Now, i have already put new heads, IP, GP's, ect on it, it mostly rebuilt. Damit.CensoredCensoredCensored
I am now researching my options. I do want to know how many members have made the mistake of saying "mine runs great" only to be rebuilding the next week. And CR does'nt count, we all (including CR) knew he was going to be rebuilding soon.
I hope the list is short.

Well at least i'm not the only one broken, i was feeling so left out for awhile there...:D

You guys are lucky being at home going to work everyday, i'm stuck with the wife 24/7, promised good fishing and we've only caught 3 fish in 2 weeks, stepped on the kids glasses and had to buy a new pair, broke the ****t*r in the trailer, new boat motors been in for repairs twice in 3 days and i still don't know what broke in the 00. Only good news is they said it may be ready on Tues.

I'm gong to have a couple more :drinking: :drinking:

If this were poker, I'd call you ALL, and raise you 100 on my hand of rediculousness with consitant problems, issues and mis-diagnosis over the past year. :)
