Broken Crankshaft

Over on Dieselplace, there's someone who broke his crank with a 80hp tune. Any thoughts? I thought our Duramax's were a lot tougher than that. It was a low mileage LMM.

yeah most likely a factory flaw an 80hp tune could never do that on its own

Yep. Probably a Monday batch of cranks. Seems to happen on high horse trucks and stockers. I know about this problem and I spend all my time in the Ford sections!
