i replaced a Cummins 5.9 in a Ford pickup after it threw a rod through the block.

My boss let me keep the busted engine.

It can still run. On 5 cylinders

 

You get any further on that one? Did the rod bearing top halfs get pounded and fall out on their own? Any gall on the valve stems? How much oil was left in it when it came in?

 

Heard the story of that happening on an old Cummins 350 855 small cam once after I saw a picture of the bent and split pushtubes. Supposed 3,000 rpm and full Jake with a dual inlet Switzer turbo. They said It still showed 15 psi manifold pressure when it was Jaking down the “hill” in western Montana before it happened. Uncle not happy with that guy but couldn’t fire him cause he was family and owned that half of the truck. Lol!

 

Same truck or 2 different ones?

Guessing that interaxle went out due to low oil? She looks pretty cooked either way.

 

What kinda rear is that out of and is it a detroit locker on the left of the slick gear? @pushbroom

And thats a slick carrier bearing removal trick there, nice.

 

2 different ones.

It blew out a yoke seal. Driver had all the lockers on and didn't quit til the truck did.

 

Thanks for the update. Any evidence of a top end oil flow issue? Id think over revving that bad woulda let atleast one rod come flying off the crank. Still thinking the valve guides will have a lot to say. Id love to dissect that pile.
