3.3 went click click bang!!!!

[Mr. Maxx Wheelie]

i was out front doing high speed runs and my maxx was working great,all of a sudden the pipe fell off. i stopped the truck rite away and it stalled,i put the pipe back on and tried to restart,bad glowplug,put a new glowplug in and tried to restart,it run for about 5secs and started making a clicking noise then a loud pop and stalled,i tried to restart,bad glowplug,i took the glowplug out and there was pieces of metal in the end of the plug,i turned the engine over with no plug in the hole and pieces of metal started flying outta the hole............could this of happened because of the pipe falling off or was that just a coincidence????

Well, you may have lost lubrication long enough to shred the internals. Sounds more like a prolonged lean condition or just plain old bad luck.
