Ok this is my first post here. Boat captain now but boat diesel mechanic for 20years or parts of and always built and raced stuff gas and diesel.
A buddy has an 08 6.4. He races a little but running around 13.0's. Trucks a daily.
As expected he blew a head gasket and is making air in the coolant.
It's full delete because this country never had the emissions junk.
1. What else should be done while in there? He's having his mechanic do the job but there limited here and I'm trying to help him out. I would hate for the guy to miss something obvious or to not do something easy while the cab is up.
Right now it's arp's and headgaskets going in. Cabs going up. He blew 1 intercooler boot so those will get swapped.
2. If he wants to bump up the power what else should be done while he's in there? I'm sure he'll never go over 750. I'd say 600-650 goal for now.
I'll be searching for manuals and write ups to see do's and don'ts to help him out.
I want to say he is running a 280hp tune from memory
quad cab short box.
Although my truck beats his it's crazy how much you guys can get from just tuning.
