Ok after talking to my machineist we are using a different block and crank just to be safe and sending all 8 rods back to get checked out.

That is definitely what I would've done. Good deal.

Matt any chance you have an old block and heads sitting around anywhere? Don't care about the shape of the inside of it, just needing an old 6.0 for a project.

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Nov 28, 2011

I do but I use them all the time

strokin20 · Nov 28, 2011

ive got a 6.0 block and heads just sitting around collecting dust if youre interested HaysKSFirefighter

Wow...18 days.

You must have a machine shop in your back pocket.

oke:

Like I said...I've been down since August......just taken my sweet-ass time.:blitzed:

Changed both turbo spec's, so I gotta build new piping again...

...well that, and I had to send my rods back to Cunningham for a check-up, and find another crank that wasn't the same price as a complete engine...along with a bazzillion other things.

Damn....18 days....I wish!:bowfast:

Carnage.

Or maybe Cunnigham. LOL

Dalpilot · Nov 29, 2011

Damn, well remember that block is 40 over.

Cutting-Edge Diesel · Nov 29, 2011

Yeah it's not that big of a deal. I already have a complete long block sitting around. It also just makes me feel better.

Extended Power · Nov 29, 2011

Damn it must be nice to have a couple of everything lyin around...
Wish I had a spare block just for doing mock-ups on.

Extended Power · Dec 2, 2011

I am starting to think that it's just a way that "Someone" is trying to tell me to "Let it go".

A 6.4 would be sweeet in this truck!
I know there is a pretty big following of the 6.0, but I just dont see how a 6.0 can stack up against a CR for reliability.

If anyone wants to come up here and do all the wiring and troubleshooting to get a 6.4 to work Ill put one in... other wise Im sticking with the 6.0
