Danny's 6.4 Elite Build!

[INFAMOUS]

Danny sent his truck to us from Boise Idaho for a simple head stud job and a few little go fast goodies. We got the truck here, Cab off, and found a little surprise!


Getting ready to get the cab up!

Cab up...

And our little surprise!!

Danny's truck will be getting:

EDE Stage 1 Short block, EDE Stage 1 Cam, EDE HD Coated Pistons,
EDE heads w/ Hardened seats, and all the normal goodies!


We will post pics and update as we progress!

:whs:

Wonder how many miles were on that oil change.....

 

[03-Blue-Powerstroke]

Lots of sludge :cursing:

 

[INFAMOUS]

There was also a gallon of coolant in the bottom of the pan....

 

[MINK]

Wow

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

That looks like fun.

 

[forcefed6.4ford]

Wow!

Must have lost the dip stick and deleted the degas bottle to miss something like that...

I was thinking blown oil cooler when I saw those pics.

 

[powr2stroke]

THOSE PICS LOOK LIKE GOOD JOB SECURITY.
what was it rubtured oil cooler or cavitated front cover.

really doesnt matter now he must of laid some coin down for the repair and now the build

Yup, it was an unwelcomed suprise.

A little back story on the truck.

Found it at an auto auction for cheap. After checking it I found a whole in the radiator and it built pressure in the coolant system pretty fast, so I thought it was just the EGR. After deleting the EGR and tuning it it still burnt coolant fast and made a weird popping noise. Beleive it or not I did check the oil level when I bought it and it looked good, apparently the sludge didnt show on the stick My guess is previous owner was not the brightest and kept adding coolant even though it was burning it. I knew it was a risk when I bought it from an auction, but I really wanted a 6.4 :thumbsup:

Good news now is I will be getting a awesome setup from Elite. Block, heads, cam, pistons and hopefully more pending the cash flow. Wasn't planning on going this extreme with it off the bat, but mind as well now, gonna be a bit of a step up from my stock 7.3...

stuff like this always makes me nervous with all the stuff going wrong on my truck i'm just waiting for something like this to happen

 

[Danny26]

Weird part is the truck drove fine otherwise, even Anthony said it ran fine when he pulled it in the shop. I still can't beleive it didn't hydrolock..

 

[forcefed6.4ford]

Turbos are likely junk too.

Not to Danny. But people that allow their trucks to run into such disrepair, should be made to drive ladas and yugos for the rest of their lives. This really annoys me.
