Ok, so I'm going to get some lunch on Friday. I pull out on to the road...I floor it (WOT). Spin threw 1st, chirp 2nd. Then all of a sudden I see smoke in my rear view mirror. I notice the smoke is not from my tires...it's coming from my enigine (holy $hit)! So I pull over as fast as I can. I turn off the truck and pop the hood. I look for signs of stress and damage. I see nothing...well I see nothing is damaged. I get under the truck and I see oil driping down the control arm. I just changed the oil last week, so I immediately think I did something wrong when I changed my oil. I called a tow truck and get it towed to my friends shop. He scans the ECM...gets a P0335 code. He checks the sensor and apparently it had nearly shot out of the block! He showed it to me and it looked hella $hitty(like it was chipped by something). So I replace the Crank Sensor...and it still won't start. I really just want to know if this has happened to anybody else. Anybody else blow a crank sensor?

 

That sucks man. [:@] I won't offer any tech advice, as I have no idea about the new fangled computer controlled cars, but I will offer my sympathy.

But, if it makes you feel any better, I voted for you in ROTM

Sorry to hear about it and keep us posted.

Sounds like it is time to activate the 7/70 warranty. This is definitely odd.

 

Yup. I need a new engine. My tow ring (I think that's what the mechanic said) is completely destroyed and sent metal shavings into the whole engine. I'll try and get some pics towmorrow. I might be getting a new engine under warranty. Wish me luck![]

Please elaborate on what a "toner ring" is. I don't mean to sound stupid, but I've never heard of this.

 

Hope they do not give you a hard time with your mods...... Good luck.

 

Hell, I hope they don't give you **** about the mods. That would seriously suck if you had to pay for it.

 

Hey man, anything new on this?

 

Yeah, we all want to know, what's the deal with DC and a new engine?
