[QUOTE="jdgleason, post: 606173, member: 166"] Since finding the results of my nozzle tests I did last fall, I decided that I was going to have to save my pennies, put my big boy pants on, and throw some reliability parts at my truck. I have put about 40k miles on my truck almost always running my hottest tune, and in that 40k, I've put 15k or so on it with 71 and 72mm turbos. I have never had studs or even an EGR delete in it, so I have always been prepared for the worst :gun: I have been incredibly fortunate that I haven't ever had a single issue with my truck, especially with the beatings I have given it. It's been down the track more times than I can count, been sled pulled, etc without issue. My Dad bought us a hunting trip down to Texas in April, and I got volunteered to drive, so I thought it was time to add some reliability to it. Everyone that knows me knows that I fly by the seat of my pants most of the time, and this was no different. Last Monday I decided that I would pull the cab off the following weekend. I was fortunate enough to use 200whp_liter's shop to do it, but I had to have the truck out by Sunday night because Justin needed the lift Monday morning. Since I was under a super time crunch, and the truck hasn't ever puked a drop I decided to stud it one at a time. I didn't have a day to get the heads resurfaced and didn't see a reason to replace the gaskets without machining. Current Mods: - Elite Diesel 72mm atmosphere - Elite 60hp nozzles The List: - True H-11 studs from Elite - Elite EGR Delete - Heavy duty up pipes from Elite - Elite Dual Pumps - Airdog and an Airdog upgrade - No Limit Pipe from Papa Dillehay So, Friday night Justin gave me a hand getting the cab ready to come up (Thanks Homie!). Saturday morning I got the cab pulled (Love frozen bolts) and set to work. Nathannial came all the way up to Fort Collins to give me a hand for the rest of the night. He and I worked til 3:30 before we decided to call it a night. Sunday around 5pm the truck fired, no leaks and no issues. I was super thankful for Nathannial's help... otherwise yesterday would have been a much longer day! Gotta say thanks to Tadd as well for all the help busting his ass to get my stuff done for me. Wayne was a huge help in getting my stuff together as well. Matt at Gearhead got tunes written for the dual pumps in a hurry and as always, I appreciate it Matt! And Aaron overnighted me some pushrods that I ended up not using since I didn't pull the heads, but He bent over backwards for me as well. I need to get the truck back on Haller's dyno to see how it compares to before, but I know it feels stronger even in the same tune. There is a dyno day this weekend that it may make an appearance at as well, so I should have some numbers soon. I am a little nervous that the transmission is going to take a leap on me lol but I don't believe that trans owes me anything :swordfight: [ATTACH=full]105426[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105427[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105428[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105429[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105430[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105431[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105432[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105433[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105434[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105435[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]105436[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
