de-mod and go to FordDJ 2003 said:I have an 03L with 39,000 mile and a 100,000 warnt. And i jus poped the motor. What should i do and say?Think svt will cover it. The mods r simple to bring back to stock.
I am a Director for SVTOA, and my dealership
is a SVT dealership, but may be able to help you out :biggthump
Cool cool. Guys/girls thanks 4 the help. I know a mech. at a dealership but hes out of town at the moment. I put my stock program back into the puter on it think they can find out that way? And what do u think i should say what happend. I was on the e-way when it poped. Should i say how fast i was going?
don't mention how fast you were going. the dealer will not be able to tell that due to the fact once you reflash the pcm you clear all codes. tell them you were running late and jumped in it to go to work and it started running funny. put it back to stock, don't worry about the exhaust, and every now and then pop in at the dealer to check in on it. svt likes to take they're sweet ass time sending reps out. If anything take it to the dealer you bought it at. just out of curiosity, what happened? vaccum line off of it?
Well it happened by pushing it to its limit. I was on I294 and me and a porsch decided to show who had bigger balls. And im not sure how fast i was really goin the spedo only shows 140mph. I know i was well past that cause the needle stopped. Then the magic happened. I keeped up till that shit happened.v8venomgt said:
give joe anderson a call at 847 362 4550 ext 250. hes the parts and service director over at sessler ford in libertyville. tell him matt kahn sent ya. there was a guy coming from i beleive south dakota and popped his motor also in the chicago area. we were able to get him a remanufactured motor + installation for real cheap and he was extremely happy. its worth a shot, were almost mod friendly, but i would still advise you take off any pullies/intake work you might have done since the svt reps dont seem to like that.
Did u have different plugs? If you didnt run a colder plugs, it is a good indication that it detinated and blew it up. Did you have a dyno tune? If you didnt have your A/F checked and adjusted that is another good indication where you could have gone wrong. I did the same thing on my 02. I had 4# lower, CAI, Predator and no plugs and mine blew also. I put everything back to stock including my stock intake and put the stock tune back. Brought it to my dealer and said, "I think the motor went". They took a look at it and said, "Ya its blown". They asked me all the questions if i had aftermarket stuff and told me to tell them a detailed explanation of what it was like when I heard the explosion. I told them I didnt have and aftermarket parts and that I jumped on it and that when it shifted out of second I heard a big explosion and that everything shut off. The service advisor and tech looked at it and seen everything was stock so they went ahead and ordered a brand new long block from Ford. They told me that they seen that the computer was reflased but they said that they would replace it and that SVT wasnt going to come out to look at it. A week later I had the truck back with a new motor and no money due when i picked it up. Good luck and if you have any questions give me a PM.
Sorry to hear that.... I guess your best bet is to go back to stock and see what ford says.... good luck!
High speed (120+) runs in a modded Lightning are a no-no.... I can't even keep track of all the motor failures I have heard of.
Who tuned the truck, or were you using one of the tunes from the Predator?
