[QUOTE="03silvertj, post: 1526516, member: 8290"] I've owned the truck since new.**Purchased in in December of 2009, at about the 50k mile mark I did that thing with the stuff and the computer thingy and enjoyed the truck.**Well here I am at 170k miles with two cracked pistons.**Number 2 and number 8.**Not really wanting a $700-$1200 truck payment I've decided to go the re-build route. I'm having TierOne Diesel in Rockingham NC do the build.**I've known those guys for about 4 years now and am very confident in their abilities.**They use Rankin Race Engines in Laurel Hill for all the machine work. The goal of this build just as the title suggests is that I want to have a RELIABLE truck that will last me at least another 10 years.**Yes, yes I know.**The 6.4 isn't the engine for that.**I figure if I get another 170k miles out of it I'll be happy.**I'm sure that with what we're doing to the engine and with good care and maintenance I'll get more than that. The List...**So far here's what we're doing; FULL rebuild of the engine, [U]any[/U] suspect parts will not be reused. To include the block and the heads (we're not that far yet). Mahle HD International Maxxforce 7 Pistons, delipped, and fly cut Wagler Connecting rod set HD Lifters Stage 1 Cam Rudys Up Pipes and Manifolds AirDog 4G Low Pressure Pump Side Action Diesel Fuel Bowl bye bye Industrial Injection Stage 2 Turbos (58mm High Pressure and 71mm Atmo) So I've got two questions. Should I add a Wastegate or a BOV to the build? If so, which would be better for the application? If I should add either, who's is best? I see lots of Wategates, H&S Motorsports, EDE, RCD, who's is best? I'm hesitant to use anything from Elite for the build due to the potential for delays on the build waiting on parts from them. That's the reason we're not using their turbos. The kit from H&S seems very basic, and the kit from RCD looks sick. Thoughts? I'm also open to any other suggestions for the build. Things you might do, or might not do. I only want to do this once. Currently the motor is at the machine shop so I've got a little more time for minor changes. Kyle [/QUOTE]
