Well, after about 6 weeks down and my clutch being lost in shipment, I finally got the Textralia Exoskel clutch in and tranny + Caltracs, meth inj, 70lb injectors, 2-step rev limiter, 4" aluminum driveshaft, 3 bar full speed density file loaded in and cranked it......Peck, peck, peck, peck, peck, peck.....
It is just as loud underneath the truck as it is above and it doesn't sound like valvetrain nor a rod bearing. I'm leaning torwards a piston. On the dyno on about the 15th pull it spit the dip stick tube out and on the way home I was thrashing on it on the interstate(when I broke the tranny) and it spit the dipstick out then and puked 1/2 qt of oil in the engine bay. I haven't heard it idle outside of the truck until now. It never had any KR on the dyno. I will pull the valvecovers when it cools off just to check. Needless to say I have started drinking before noon today
I need all my fellow drunken brothers to have one on my behalf

 

damn man thats sucks, sorry to hear that..

 

done. Just got back from my guinness lunch. I feel ya!

 

Holly $hit damn you are having bad luck. I will damn sure have one for you this afternoon.

 

that sucks man........

 

sorry to here it but i will have one with ya!!!

 

****, if it weren't for bad luck you wouldn't have any luck...I'm headed to the liquor store

 

Thanks for ya'lls support
I'm having another one while the kitty litter soaks up the antifreeze

 

damn bro... i have been there too. Its frustrating as hell I know... I have 12 long necked buddies of mine waiting on me as soon as I get off work

 

Heh i know your pain. My truck is being looked at for a constant tic-tic-tic sound. And guess what, the mechanics are 95% sure its a spun main bearing

Hopefully a GM Remanufactured LQ9 costs about the same as a remanufactured LQ4... thats the only positive thing i can think about right now...
