Broke down in Calhoun Ga.

[LEPage]

Today I was southbound on I-75, suddenly lost a cylinder with LOTS of white smoke. Engine still runs, but smokes & misses. Any ideas?

Blown

Well, I got it to the dealer today, they think it'll be a complete replacement. Dealer said an injector failed, & as soon as that happened it blew a hole in the piston. I've got Amsoil running out of the exhaust pipe by the quart! Mark at TST said it's more common than I'd want to believe. He also said if I need a engine to get back with him, he might be able to get me a crate motor. If anyone knows of any, I would sure like to know about it.

Is the dealer going to replace the engine under warranty?

 

[MRFost]

Um. Did you read his sig? Doesn't seem like much chance of a warranty.

LEPage, I am just 6 miles south of Calhoun. Call me tomorrow if you need any help. I have a diesel shop in Adairsville. Don't have any common rail engines laying around, but I'll help you as much as I can.
