no one who had thier motors tuned by fast were jumping out calling the him a bad tuner but its _very_ odd that 2 out of the 3 local ones have gone thru a motor in such short peiords of time, (2 n/a motors) its just a good idea to mayb have someone over look his, but the fast guy may be better at a spray tuner over a n/a tuner, its not like these were planned to happen, it does. no1s the best tuner, thiers no such thing cause atleast 1 out of every car a tuner has tuned, if they are “good” or not thet all have had motors gernade from some sort if issue ---

Same with our trans and the only way they cover it is if you have warranty and even then is a maybe. GM does not like admitting or fixing either of these issues. In many cases it becomes a battle people do not want to deal with and like me go elsewhere and just upgrade while they are fixing it. A huge percent of these trucks have both of these go before they hit 100k. and many well before 50k stock or modified. it’s a shame but it’s the flaws we deal with by owning this truck and go into buying them eyes wide open. ---

I have to find the time to go over and help pull the motor I have been busy every week end and next week end happens to be my first free week end in awhile so I will most likely go over and help him start pulling it to see what happened. I cant attribute any thing to what happened other then he was at the 1000ft mark in 4th gear when it let go. ---

I am at 82k this is no surprise to me that it happened I have fully expected it since I bought the truck.” Spinning a bearing usually takes out the crank, the rod its attached to, if its a main it takes out the block. Either way, it isnt running, so its “blow up”. And it more than likely will take the same ammount of parts, if done correctly to rebuild a motor the same way one would if they grenaded a piston or snapped a rod. All the shit above the block comes off, and all the shit bellow it comes off to do it right. Blown up is blown up, $5 rod bearing or a $500 piston, doesnt really matter. > [@Lancaster Raceway Park - back in 08 ?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/lancaster-raceway-park-back-in-08/35857/19): > > I still stick to mine was not tune related. Like I said I knew it was going to happen eventually from research before buying the truck. Most likely correct, spinning a bearing is a physical failure thing in my eyes… and if they had oiling problems from the get go, that failed as bad as you say they do 8K, 50K what ever… GM should have recalled the shit. And if you knew it was a problem, why not replace it PRIOR to doing anything to the car, $500 oil pump or what ever it is would be a 1 hr fix, not a 1 week turnaround on machine work for the cranks &/or block and alot more in parts. > [@Bird feeder email I got today](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/bird-feeder-email-i-got-today/35755/60): > > not at all. it’s easy to fix, just need to pull the motor out. if you consider that blown your an idiot.
