Alarming spalling failures on 7.3 Godzilla

Ford 7.3 Godzilla failures

As a normal course of action I don't recommend oil sampling. In this case, I break from that recommendation. If I owned one of these engines I would oil sample religiously before it ruined your vacation miles from home.

Interesting that it's cheaper to replace the whole engine rather than repair it.

This one is going to give Jim Farley a headache.

For you Gearheads...

So go buy you a Fox body and a Godzilla crate engine. Slap some twins on it and go hit the track.

Enjoy...

Hey shelby, I think Grit may have misquoted, and was responding to the "sock"??

I seldom post in EV threads myself, as I have little interest in the subject. Unlike you, I'd be willing to discuss EVs in person, as long as the EV promoters were furnishing munchies and beer.

^What he said! Except for the sock part. I was responding to Mr Shelby.

But it’s all good. Anyone who takes this seriously needs something better to do.

Just from previous posts, I'm thinking if he does use those services, it is not working for him. In all fairness, he's not been here that long, so a big improvement may be noticed as his post count increases.

I'm guessing a disposable "sock" of an existing member who feels compelled to post stupid/offensive stuff but hopes to dodge the consequences. Wonder who...?


Lol. Your interest for the well being of rv.net is noticed and appreciated. But I’m sure there’s an EV issue that you could better spend your time spinning yarns aboot…
LOL, interesting that you would be the guy who responded.... FWIW, you won't see me in EV threads anymore. I figured I wouldn't discuss that with folks like you in real life so why bother on the internet? :R

Looks like the same thing they had going on in there V10's. we had them at work and went through engins like crazy in the f550's we had. later we found out because they were never shut off and spent a good 15 hours a day idleing every day they wern't getting enough oil at idle and killing cams.

in the video he has a cube van which if it is a delivery truck will spend large amounts of time idleing ... who knows..
