Your going to be SOL because you felt it loose power after 5k and you kept pushing it. If there motors blown its all on you.

same ******* **** happened to me, only, i didnt keep pushing it. I threw a rod on day 91 of my warranty, not my fault (oil light flickered, then i immediately threw a rod)

Steve didnt do ****. I know its out of warranty, but damn, one day and it wasnt my fault at all. I babied it. On top of that, motor came in shitty shape, broken sensors that i had to get on my own, etc. Everyone loves Hmotors, and it was my luck that i got a POS.
