[QUOTE="bigrpowr, post: 552393, member: 806"] nothing should ever be that hot. i kick my trucks ass's , but my green one let one go at 5000 miles on them , cylinder #7. there is a reason IH redesigned the piston, its weak. im sure for a daily driven cast piston the new one is much stronger than the original design, hence the redesign. how often do you see a piston change in a motor? i cant imagine anyting but good coming from it. the new mtor in my green truck has elite forged and stroker rods, the silver truck got elite coated HD's. i have no fear in either now, i worried about the silver truck having the original pistons from BFT's motor but i thought the intake manifold would keep them alive, but going to the 110's and dual pumps killed number 3, and they let go at high boost and low bp (65/67). i know heat and BP played no role because they never saw over 1500* . now all i can do is believe in re-engineering. BTW this $hit is expensive. [/QUOTE]
