Official warning for what. I can't stand people that respond to post and don't know what they are talking about. I want to have a real conversation about the problem not someone implying that I don't take care of my stuff

I blew one but I had it rebuilt with all the stronger parts billet shafts stronger torque converter better shift servos. Haven't had a problem since. I don't think the tune was my problem bc it was only that piston the rest looked good and the plugs were nice

Something most likely the edge did one of two things.
1 it leaned the cylinder, but that's most likely not it because that will usually cause a cracked cylinder in my experience.
2 what most likely happened and this is a guess. Is something happened to where I bet the said cylinder missed or something and the computer weather by the tune or just a mess up probably told the injector to dump fuel in the chamber and caused a lot of heat. ( big problem on powerstroke a when they go into regen mode)
3 this is an extra I did say two. The injector just stuck open and kept spraying fuel in. Idk for sure but that's my guess.
And sorry to all of you but you insult me out of no where, especially if I'm asking for help. I'm gonna jump at you to. Especially if I just blew a 3k+ motor.

I'm thinking the fuel injector could be the issue. My dad had a 06 F-150 5.4 lariat that was a work truck and always had the regular maintenance done at ntb. It started where it would randomly run rough for a while then would fix itself. Well one day it finally had enough and bent a rod and tore all kinds of stuff up. Ended up being a fuel injector was stuck open and kept dumping fuel into the cylinder. When was the last time you ran any fuel injector cleaner through it? That's one of those things I never realized is a good idea until that incident.

It did run ruff for like 2 mins about a month back then it stopped I just thought maybe bad gas. It might have been an injector. Does anyone know the ohms on it so I can check it. A btw a reman motor is 3500-3700 dollars a junkyard is 2000-2500 and I'm rebuilding mine for about 1500-1600 that's a total rebuild polish crank new bearings new rings, pistons, oil pump, water pump, power steering pump, bore job, line bore, acid dip, timing set and vacuum checking the valves.
