well what a sh1tty day:crying . started to get a loud tick this morning out of no where and thought it was a header exhaust leak, so I went on my marry way.


well about 2 hours ago she let loose about 5 min from my house ( thank god it happened there, it only cost me 42 bux to get it towed lol )

now heres where it gets REALLY shitty. I just replaced my old blown motor with this one, not even a month ago............:rolf

all I can do it laugh at this point..cause if I were to think about it, Id prolly go find a book of matches, light one and drop it in my gas tank!!!!!!:flipoff2:

What do you all have done to your GTP? Just wondering, as I had two GTP's that I modded but never chipped a piston. When I sold me 2nd GTP this spring everyone was having problems. Just wondering if there is bad stuff out there or if people just have no clue what they are doing.

I know the 3800's like the back of my hand

Pistons don't just pop for no reason. I am guessing you were tuning and went lean.

Sorry man I didn't hear anything. I can't see why they won't replace it though. Why exactly are they saying no? Do you need the name of the person who actually purchased them? (if so I have it)

hehe... How are those Renesis motors treating everyone? I haven't heard of any common problems. Anyone making some big numbers? I'm so out the loop.

From what i hear, there was some minor issues not related to the engine, boosted on low psi they are making good power. So it seems like they did good so far.
