[QUOTE="Black AOD, post: 1156987, member: 16536"] Hello all, I'm fairly new to this site. Don't post much and like to read and learn more than anything to be honest. Anyways, to the point. I bought MINK's old 2008 Black EC/LB July of 2014. Truck has done me great so far. Josh had already done ARP Studs, Elites ported fuel Rails, had the Trans built, No Limit intake and I/C Piping, done a large tune from GH and a leveling kit as well as traction bars. Since Ive owned it, I've added Recon Headlights, 325/60 Nittos with 20x10 Fuel Mavericks, and just done some regular maintenance and up keep as well as a few new tunes from gearhead. Unfortunately I started to experience some puking under WOT several weeks back, so I assumed the worst and turns out I was right. I took it to Nate down at Unlimited Diesel in Bremen, OH (great guys to work with) and my fears were confirmed as were more problems ha. Both heads were cracked, numerous pistons had lots of valve slap, and the block has serious war-page on it. The timing cover was also very eroded and failing. Needless to say, the truck needs a new heart. So I've decided to build a whole new motor for the truck as well as some more upgrades for it. My list goes as follows -New 6.4 short block -Delipped, fly cut and coated pistons from Morgan at Midwest -Gapless ring Conv. -ATI Harmonic Damper -Elite Billet Flexplate -H13 Studs -New OEM lifters & Rocker Arms -New OEM Heads, surfaced with hardened valveseats -New OEM gaskets -Bulletproof waterpump -RCD Valvetrain Kit with Springs, pushrods and Stage 2 Colt Cam -No Limit hot side pipe -Reusing No Limit Cold side Pipe and NL Intake and NL Intake elbow -Dieselsite boot kit -Alradco Radiator and Intercooler -MPD CCV Kit -BD Exhaust Manifolds -RCD Up-Pipes -RCD drop in 72mm Atmo -RCD Ported Intake Manifold -Sinister Coolant Kit -Downpipe from Sean at SDP. -Reuse MBRP 5" Exhaust Truck already has full deletes and 5" exhaust which will all be reused. Build will start soon hopefully as soon as I get my finances in order and can get Nate to order the new block and all other parts. The Trans already being built makes this much easier for me, I wanted to go single Turbo but am undecided on what route to go for now so I just decided on the RCD drop in as I'm staying stock fuel until I decide what route to go there. Just wanted to share all this with the people who have taught me so much on this site, thoughts or feedback are welcome. :D [/QUOTE]
