Dood ... you have the shittiest luck. You need to just sell all your **** and get a Yugo or something. Just be sure to mark it all so I will now not to get any of it.

That sucks man ... Be sure to get some pics of it though. I wanna see all this. Do you think maybe you just spun the crank pulley????

I had hoped i'd see your truck down at MMSP before too long, but not for a good while now i guess.

I've seen stock cranks to well over 600rwhp and 10 sec flat passes...um...WTF is all I can think of.

Maybe it's that crank spacer adapter thingee for the 6.0 and 4L80E?

Flyer-I already bought a Nissan Sentra, does that count for a Yugo?! No, its not just the pulley spun-wish it was. Riley, thats where I was coming from when this happened-getting my bottle filled and some race as so I could come to Memphis tonight! Hitman-no its not that spacer cause I didnt use it this time. Thanks for all the sympathy and ideas, guys.

I guess that's close enough ... now enscribe LE in big letters on all your stuff and sell it. That way I will know to ask if it has LE on it anywhere, and if it does, I'll konw it's tanted.


I hope you get to build something that will run for more than 2 days soon enough.

That sucks. Id really like to know if you find anything out as well. Ive always heard that these cranks are pretty stout. It could be worse. You could be waiting on over 2 grand in expense reimbursement. The check is damn near a month late!! Someone is seriously about to get their *** kicked. The f*ck who is supposed to cut the check got real lippy with me too. Good luck
