ColinevanJust an update really guys. Unfortunately there was a problem with that motor. It just took a while to show through. I wont go into specifics as cml as being very good, but lets just say that things were not as they should. Thanks Col.

Will you share the issue.
I was running and had a wierd thing happen. I have a 84 spur and ran the 4.5 with a 18 pinion. Which is the wrong gearing but it ran without any issues. Once it was pointed out that it was not in the correct range I lowered it down to a 15 where it should of been ok. It had no punch and seemed really slow and ran at about 140f so I started moving back up on the pinion and it never ran cooler then the 140f and if I went back to a 17 or 18 it would thermal at the 3.5-4 min mark. And now it has that been worked to hard smell. It still runs for 3 min really well but after that it is crap.
So did I run it orginally and it broke in to that gearing and it would be ok or did something go bad with the wire or sensors and can be fixed or is it trash and I need to quit lugging it around in my box?
