OK XRU, I have found what is wrong with the truck. It was a simple fix, however my motor will be replaced soon. Don't know the extent of the damage, but a bad connection on the power wire for the ECU was the cause of the running rough and cutting out of power. History is this wire has likely been messed up from when I removed the MAF CAL (that was wired in) and reconnected the wires. This very well could have caused the issues with the first motor. Hard to tell. I can promise is what my wrong doing both times and not any of the products in my truck.
I have issued refunds to all that have paid me. The amounts refunded are (not to put names up)
250 (in paypal/ immediately transferred), 100.00, 210.00, 300.00, 100.00, 700.00, 100.00, 75.00, 120.00, and 1200.00 Any other questions on the refunds, please PM me. Other than the first, paypal will take the normal 3-5 days to complete the refund.
Again, I am extremely sorry for any inconvenience. I hope you all understand that I never "wanted" to get rid of KETCHUP. I truely felt she was at the point of no return. That I had exhausted all possibilites, and I was wrong. I actually descovered the bad connection when removing the X1, to make sense of it.
Where do I go from here. Well first, no BYE BYE Ketchup. I have a few good friends with a used motor that I plan to pick up. Regardless of what was wrong, we are sure the motor suffered some damage. Won't ever know until the motor is pulled apart. So the best thing is to drop a new "used" motor in. I am actually considering re-building the motor. I honestly think now that the wire is fixed, the truck will run ok. If it blows up, at least this time I know what caused it.
**If you are upset, do us all a favor and keep it off this thread. You can send your displeasures by PM. I will tell you that my response will be close to "I never intended this to happen" I am sure most of you already understand and actually care for me and not worried about NOT getting something off my truck. Just wanted to clear that up cause I really don't have time for hate mail.
Again, I can't say thanks to those that have helped me enough. I hope that everyone understands that my issues were because of me, not my truck or the products on it.

Seriously man, any hate mail you might get is bullshit, people need to understand that things happen. It's not like they didn't get their money back in a timely fashion.

Hey sorry boss I didn't have time to call.... we were slammed and I couldn't pick up. Glad to know you are keeping the beast. :top: We will have to run them now for sure.... Xroller vs Ketchup! 1/4 Mile time! I'm pretty happy for ya bro that you are keeping it.... That is one of the cleanest xrunner's I have seen in person brotha. That thing is a beast for anyone that has had a chance to see that amount of work he has put into that truck will know what I mean. Glad to hear the good news man. Let me know about the spare motors that you have. I need some heads..... I over revved my motor once about a year and a half ago and I have been able to hear the rockers ever since. So I could use the heads so I don't blow them. :top:
