Message: [QUOTE="strokin'_tatsch, post: 473943, member: 7"] The forged aluminum pistons shouldn't be used for a DD b/c of reliability issues with the rings/ring grooves due to having no steel insert. Swamps is building some steel pistons for the 7.3L now. I'm not sure if they are ready to be released yet, but they should be stronger than the forged aluminum pistons and can be run with tighter piston to cylinder wall tolerances, but they are a little heavier than stock Mahle pistons. For that reason, I think Swamps said they wouldn't recommend using the steel pistons in a DD either. Now, this thread is for a full on pulling truck that is mechanically injected, so if Swamps has their pistons ready or want to test them, that would probably be an awesome route. [/QUOTE]
