..I have USAA too. been with em forever.

USAA has it's perks

But those ****ers have a hard time calling you back when you ask them to.
and they take their sweet time to get you an answer

Which apparently hated you.

Im guessing it was just time for your engine to go
I have used seafoam for years on so many cars,trucks,vans Not once has it ever caused issue in cars from 1960's to present day

Ive also heard people say royal purple killed their engines yet the cases are so far and few between it was probably just engine failure no real blame

Well engines don't just blow for the hell of it.

Wasn't riding it hard.

Didn't have anything but MSD Igniton headers and CAI

nothing to **** it over with unraw power



Lack of Oil/overheating/ or an Additive generally is what causes Engines to fail.

hot block cold water maybe who knows just dont see seafoam causing this

You need some good oil for you new engine.

The puddle cracked your block. It had absolutely nothing to do with seafoam. You need some amsoil for your new engine, since you always want the best.
