Just that RTG_RACING was obviously doing something wrong if he somehow managed to kill 3 6BTs.
Wasen't me. I'm a Ford guy so I wouldn't have a Dodge if you gave it to me. My Grandpa bought it new n 96. He and Grandma used it to pull a 30ft 5th wheel. The first let go around 30k. Sand from the casting ate up the bearings. Dealer swapped the engine and the second one died when it dropped a valve. In 99 the turbo came apart and that was it. Grandpa bought the 99 F350 and used it untill he passed in 02. over 500k on the clock and only had one clutch go out. That was my fault. :evil:

I guess that much bad luck would make you stay away from any engine. :eek:
