Alright everyone, I figured I'd start my build thread. The build hasn't started totally yet but almost everything is ready to go.
My name is Wayne. All of this started Sept 2010 when I bought my 2008 Black Lariat CC/SB. Over the course of 2 or so years the truck got head studs, cam, valve springs, torque converter, 2.5" lift, 35" toyos, 20x10 weld wheels, custom egr delete, custom intake elbow, AFE intake, 5" exhaust, traction bars. I'm sure there are a few things I left out, costmetically and mechanically, but you get the idea, I had a pretty solid base for a build. Only 1 problem.... RUST... the rear fenders started to bubble and rust. The truck had always lived in NY and I drove it the first 2 winters I had it... March of 2013 I sold the truck, knowing I wanted a Harley edition 6.4, and I already had a huge pile of parts for the 6.4 platform so I wasnt going to change it up..
Old truck, and his truck
That leads me to my current truck. In April of 2013 I flew from upstate NY to Nogales Arizona and picked up a CC/SB 2010 Harley Edition and drove it home. Truck is rust/corrosion free and will not be driven in the winter. Only downside, it was BONE STOCK. So, needless to say it was a pretty big sacrifice. Over the last few months Ive gotten a minimax with gear head tunes, 5" exhaust, window tint, and made my own intake for the time being. (no sense in buying one when it was just going to get a custom one soon with the build.) I still need to recoup a Torque Converter, Valve Springs, a secondary location alternator, and probably a few other odds and ends that Im forgetting. Now for the build plans...
Motor- stock, unless something goes
88mm garrett GT4718, coated exhaust housing (remote mounted)
66mm S366, coated exhaust housing (intake facing the drivers side)
Custom stainless charge piping
Coated 6.0 manifolds, ported
Custom stainless uppipes with inconell flew pipes.
Obviously egr deleted, intake elbow, cac.. probably all custom stainless
Custom intake manifold, based off a stocker
Valve Springs (haven't decided who's yet)
ARP studs
Diesel Dr. Dual Fuelers
100% 6 hole nozzles
Custom lift pump system consisting of 1 walbro GSL392 pumping from the stock tank to a 5 gallon fuel cell
2 walbro gsl392 pumping from the fuel cell to an Aeromotive regulator, one will be on a hans switch (boost switch).
All black nylon braided hose.
5" exhaust.
I have an Elite Diesel comp transmission kit
TCS 300m input shaft
The truck will rarely ever see a track or pull a sled any time soon so the tranny isn't getting much unless something lets go
Obviously there is a bunch of minor things that get changed and addressed during a build of this size that I'm forgetting.
I have some gauges to measure boost from both turbos, back pressure, and lift pump pressure that will be custom mounted on the dash.
I also have 5.4 springs that may go on once I get wheels and tires.
Eventually will have 20x10 wheels again with probably 33/12.5-13.5 atzs
The truck will either stay stock height or or be lowered. I have no plans on lifting it. The build will happen before anymore cosmetic stuff gets done, so hopefully it will be a pretty wicked sleeper. Aiming for 1000HP fuel only.
All the work is being done by my friend/mechanic/fabricator that builds ridiculous muscle cars at his shop. He doesnt advertise or anything because he has a ton of work. He currently has a 900hp 5.9 cummins that he won the dyno event at the last Truck Jam. Truck has had some changes recently and is probably even close to 1000HP, street driven, with almost no smoke. He is an amazing fabricator/mechanic. Ill post info and pictures as it comes along, but again, it probably wont actually start for another month, maybe two....
