    Finally happened...

    Alright guys. I appreciate all the help. Another question, if working with River City to get a package, how are their pistons? Or should I really just try to get the set of International heavy duty?

    What are advantages of ceramic coating the pistons ($1200) versus just the bare coating option ($786)?

    Finally happened...

    Can you guys point me in the right direction for a good set of lifters, push rods, and pistons? I was on River City and found push rods and OEM lifters, is that the way to go? As far as pistons, I found international heavy duty for $1285.

    Finally happened...

    I finally blew the head gaskets and up pipes on my 6.4. I had a terrible hissing/screeching sound coming from engine compartment, I took it to the shop hoping it was just an exhaust manifold leak, turn out the studs were broken off in the head, gaskets were blown, and manifolds were warped. I...

    Brake/Hub Scraping Noise?!

    Got my truck back from Ford today, looks as if the new brakes I had put on last year had longer backing plates and they were rubbing against the rotor. They shaved them down and it seems to have fixed the problem. Luckily, they did not charge me since they did not fix it the first time.

    Next Project...?

    Well I talked to the company my gift card is through and they over Flight Fabrication traction bars so I think I am going to grab me a set, and a black studded grille from Royalty Core. I was looking at a Road Armor front bumper, but I just cannot justify the price of those things for how I use...

    Next Project...?

    Yes sir! I went to undergrad there, many many great memories at UT! Proud Alum! I saw their orange, and its a pretty good color, I just do not want it to stick out like a sore thumb or look out of place, obviously it will draw attention, but do you guys think orange bars would look good under...

    Next Project...?

    I would save it, but most of it is on a gift card from the site I bought my stuff from so I cannot use it like at a dealership or shop to do work or anything. I just did not know if there was anything around that range that would be a good investment. It seems like anything else performance wise...

    Next Project...?

    Hey guys, well I just installed a 5" exhaust, mini maxx, air intake, and EGR delete about two weeks ago. I'm sitting on 35" tires and 18" rims, and I've plastidipped my side logos. I was wondering what my next project should be? I have about $500-700 to blow and I was looking at maybe a bull...

    Brake/Hub Scraping Noise?!

    Thank you! The only thing that concerns me is that my noise is more like metal on metal scraping and grinding, not a squeak or squeal. But I will definitely look at that. I went by Ford again today, took a tech for a drive and let him hear the noise. He says it is coming from the rear end...

    Brake/Hub Scraping Noise?!

    Hey guys, so I have a weird scrubbing/scraping noise coming from, it sounds like anyways, the right front end on the passenger side. It sounds like metal is scrubbing or scraping against something. I thought it may have been something stuck in the rotor, dust protecter rubbing, etc. so I...

    Turbo Sound

    The only reason I was hesitant on thinking it was turbo surge was because I am only running a mild tune and have my boost defueling at 42 PSI, the stock registers 41 PSI, so surely I am not getting that much surge over stock to cause problems? I have only peaked at 42 PSI, and I am usually...

    KEM tuning

    I have not ran either of these personally, but I have always read and heard great things about Innovative Diesel tunes and Gearhead tunes. They seem to be the two leaders of the pack. I just got my truck tuned myself and I'm running a mini maxx with the hot damn tunes and I'm about to MCC...

    Turbo Sound

    Yeah, I did

    Turbo Sound

    Another question, after going fully deleted I have noticed a "whooshing" sound after I accelerate hard and let off the gas. I looked around and noticed that it may be turbo surging and that that is not good for my turbos. I linked a video, this is exactly the noise my truck makes. Is that a bad...
