Lightning wont start :( help!!!!

[04troublez]

i changed my plugs and it started to act stupid.
it wouldnt start
when i got it started i would turn it off
and wont start.
i started it went on the highway slowly reached 120 and it started to jerk
alot of smoke was left behind i pulled over alot of smoke was coming from somewhere in the engine
there was like a spill of oil all over the chassis, tranny, everything. its motor oil
because it was dripping. the truck didnt start for nothing
the battery died. the truck seems dead.

It sounds like you popped you're motor. bucking, oil, smoke = hole in block or oil pan.
what are your mods?(sorry i have signatures turned off)

I ask though, if you changed the plugs and it acted up, and you hadnt sorted it out, why the hell did you go do a 120mph blast?

Time to go built!

Sounds like a rod went

Your looking at a new motor if the compression check comes back bad.

Id guess the oil pan damage is because something shit the bed inside your motor and made contact with the pan. Even an all stock truck that isnt running properly, got bad gas, or detonated for whatever reason will blow up a motor.

you guys are experts. i reached inside the
oil pan. there was alot of broken pieces
piston pin, and yup a connecting rod.

if you plan on keeping it stock as you have, you can find stock short blocks used, or you can buy a stock motor like the previous owner of my truck did

how much would a used motor be standing at $.
yea im keeping it stock for right now since im still paying
for this truck. no matter what i still love my lightning
and im gonna do what ever it takes to have it on
the streets again.

ive seen the used motors run for 1500ish little more little less.

If you plan to keep to truck for years to come:

Have your heads checked. if they are fine just get a new built block and bolt on the heads and it will run the same as before just be strong.

If not just find a drop in LB and RR should be no more than 1300 ish for labor and a motr can be had for 1500 ish

Find an 03-04 if ya can and if ya have to pay 3-400 more so be it . The heads are worth it.
