To add a lil' fuel to the fire. I was on DS.com and according to the website RPMOUTLET.COM sold me a dealer only with no programming (u7000) instead of the U7146 they were supposed to. So I downloaded the program (.crom file) into the Predator and you see the result. But the stang has been running with whatever was in there before the download and I retard the timing...

who knows...

Great mileage? Are we all to expect, at the most, 93k miles on our motors?

I was thinking that as well... that's pretty pathetic. My friend's LT1 has had like 10 oil changes in its life and hes got 90K+ with no issues

So no recourse for getting the wrong programmer?

This is not the first time I have seen the wrong predator for the application do this type of damage. I seriously doubt DiabloSport will accept any blame for this and if Caballo was to get any compensation it would be from Rpmoutlet. I have never dealt with them, so I don't know what they will do if anything.

time for a 5.4 torque

A 5.4 2V will make Torque, but less HP than a similar 4.6L.

WOW that sucks! Man, I know that the wrong timing and/or fuel can cause detonation...but jeeze just an instant kill on an N/A engine????

Must have had a TON of timing in the tune and lettle fuel...thats the best I can do, or MAYBE it wasnt the tuner and was your cars time to go (unlikely, but still possable) . It wasnt your fault at all though man, unless you have been driving around @ redline quite often lol...also, did MAYBE the tune remove the rev limiter and you simply over revved it? I know some people shift when their cars hit the rev limiter, so you never know.

ADRENLN · Dec 13, 2006

no, our engines will go further but he said he didnt baby it.

90k+ being pretty hard on it is not too bad.

The Tear Down started yesterday and I'll do a write up soon, but for now...

That coolant sure does look tasty

Good luck on your future build man, hate to see that you ran into that problem.

01Steeda · Dec 13, 2006

you still should not have detonated that bad N/A.. i am guessing a wrist pin let go.. or just a rod failure due to overstress.

Gearbanger 101 · Dec 13, 2006

Can you afford a proper build right now, or are you just planning to pull the old one out and look around for another engine?

I can afford whatever I want to do, it's gettin past my "financial planner" that makes the task more difficult then just sayin' I want that and that and that and that...

Problem is I'm traveling and only here until March 2 for sure so regardless of what I can "afford" I've got to be relatively quick about the decision I make. I can do the swap myself, but I'm not just buying parts, I'm also picking up tools, supplies etc...

I'm just lucky my company got me out an apartment and into a house...

caballo · Dec 14, 2006

Well tonight I disconnected the AC and PS and starter and H-pipe and the harness from the block. I think tomorrow I'll disconnect the MotorMounts and the tranny... we'll see how it goes...
