[QUOTE="Jross993, post: 1606842, member: 46157"] Hey guys, just wanted to share my story on here and see if you guys had any advice for how to move forward. I just bought this truck in December 2020 from the original owner - 43k miles with a Roush stage 2 supercharger installed in 2015 around 20k miles. Only other mod on the truck is a borla catback, super clean truck. I was playing around in the snow on an unplowed road a few weeks ago, took a buddy for a spin and did a couple 1/2 - 3/4 throttle pulls. Nothing too crazy because the roads were a mess. The truck started making a horrible knock, the worst I’ve ever heard. I shut it down immediately and had it towed to a local ford performance shop - Speidell Supercars. They’re a well-regarded shop in my area, anyone with a fast ford takes their stuff there. They take a look and as I suspected the truck spun a rod bearing. Their opinion was tuning that was too aggressive and melting the cats, and maybe a crappy tank of gas to take it over the edge. The Roush kit was installed and tuned by Evolution Motorsports in PA. I got a couple options from Speidell - option 1: stock reman ford block installed with long tube headers and billet oil pump gears for $13k Option 2: he tears down the motor and rebuilds with new crank, forged rods, new pistons, some head work (cams etc) eliminate piston oil squirters, billet oil pump gears, long tube headers and a couple other things I’m forgetting for $21k option 3: Livernois long block installed for $24k Sounds like Livernois is gonna be the longest wait, at least 6 months. As far as my goals for the truck I want it to have good driveability, I want my wife and kids to be comfy in it. Anyone with a livernois motor or similar build that can talk about the street manners? I’m always thinking about resale value. I bought this truck planning to keep it a long time and not put many miles on it, it’s just a weekend vehicle. Probably 2-3k miles per year max. Obviously wasn’t planning on having this happen and everything I read about Roush raptors is that they are reliable trucks. Which option is the best value and won’t screw me when/if I ever sell the truck? I might have to keep it a long time....not that that’s a bad thing, I love the truck and was super happy with it before this happened. Anyways let me know what you guys think! [/QUOTE]
