Keep in mind, I've blown up the butterfly valve 3 times now and rebuilt it with parts from Home Depot 3 times now. Just yesterday, my torque motor finally decided to die on me... now I gotta call QTP and ask about their torque motors... yay.

I'm not 100% sure how, but I'm taking a good guess and assuming all the big fireballs I've thrown out of the cut-out, with the butterfly valve in the way of the fireballs, made **** blow up. See the 2 tiny hex screws on the butterfly valve plate? and the 2 hex screws that attaches the butterfly valve to the motor? I've blow out all those screws repeatedly... even with lock-tight and lock washers. I never close the valve while driving. Home depot carries all the screws you need though in case you need to replace any of 'em.
Yes, I have a 3" as well. I called QTP today and they said to ship my whole thing back to them and they'll repair it or ship me a brand new one, under warranty, for free. However, they stated that if there's any evidence of road damage on the motor, I'd have to pay a $30 fee to have it all replaced. I'll let you know by the end of this week how their customer service treats me. =]
