Gotta get moving on this thing. So far have gathered head studs, gaskets, oil cooler, lifters.

 

[DEEZUZ]

Cams toast. Anyone got a good stock one?

 

[drunk on diesel]

Dude, its your truck but I just wonder why you are removing one of the best autos ever designed to put an obsolete trans in it?

Other than that I like your approach. Gonna be pretty sweet.

I can't believe he sold that truck. It's super clean. why you think the cam got scored? Oil issue?

Love rowing gears in these things...

Yes I believe all lifter failures are oiling issues.

Your local I see. ....

pains my heart as well

It's going to be a long shot if I'm able to swap it over. I gotta get some better rims and tires on this thing first. But ideally that's what I want, is a banger truck...

Do you guys just not like the manual cause they are slower?

 

[drunk on diesel]

slower and just don't offer any real benefit over the auto... the auto arguably holds more power, with the right tuning, you can put it any gear you want, and it's cheaper to overhaul if you have a problem with it

I love manual transmissions. Pretty much every car and most of my Dodge diesels were manual. But the 5R is a match made in heaven to the 6.0 and 6.4. The manual is the inferior of the two IMO

 

[DEEZUZ]

Maybe I'll keep it auto and buy a 3rd truck but manual

 

[drunk on diesel]

there's an 04 reg cab manual for sale on DFW craigslist for under $5k

of course I passed on it because of the manual trans! LOL

 

[6ohstroker]

Yep I'm a local. Id have to check around but I may have a used cam. As far as the tranny debate goes I say throw some power to it before you swap it. I think you'll love the way it shifts and handles.

I wonder if oil sampling would have caught this before it was trashed... Your thoughts ?

 

[drunk on diesel]

oil sampling would have implied a closer eye on oil quality and change intervals, so it would in-turn prevent it from happening

IMO
