I can only imagine in order for the frame to break, one would have to exceed the GVWR by a lot, which should not be done anyway.

I guess I should count myself lucky mine held out for 108,000 miles.

Or jump it repeatedly.
Come on world, you tell me someone has not come up with a roller rocker for the 3.6?
This screams mass recall, lawsuits, etc.

For those that might be thinking about tweaking the viscosity of their oil (as mentioned in the video):

I havent watched it yet but it would suck to have this happen. It would doubly suck to have to have it happen right before a trip

He was lucky to have it happen before the trip, despite his obvious stress. It would have really sucked to be in the middle of nowhere Alaska and have something really bad happen.

Hey, we've got one mechanic here, though the shipping would double the cost of a new engine.

I watched that. Brad took it well. I've had things like that happen to me before and I did not have the same reaction, would end up selling the vehicle ASAP.
Should Brad get that canister oil filter adaptor that has a drain back valve? Does that help this issue?
Same with oil weight. Maybe he needs to go with a 5W40 or something.

Now that it has been repaired, has anything changed so that the failure will not reoccur?

probably wants to use that fourwheel projectM camper...and maybe gets a better audience for his videos.

I wonder how many miles were on the used cam he put in? I think I would be stressing for the rest of the trip...I bet when he gets back that thing gets a V8 conversion...I think I will be on a 2500-3000 Oil change interval from now on......
