A cheaper truckk hmmmm before we start. I dont know if you know this. My dad who works a baker hughes, and who has a high position job. Offered to buy me a brand new 6.4l at the time, But you know what i wanted his 7.3l. So guess what I did? I worked for him, until I paid it off every performance part that I ever done to it was paid by me. Not my parents the only thing they have ever helped me with was with parts that were worn becuase of age. My dad doesnt buy my chit your 18 and your on this site 24/7. So I know good well you sit on ur a$$. I'm 18 as well and I work for everything. And if I really really wanted a new truck I could get one. Put your truck together and then come talk to me. All you have is your keyboard.

I'm on this site all day at work, I run the family business also! Some of us just have easy going jobs haha

Smut, what are you gonna do internally to the motor and are you gonna wrench it yourself or send it to a shop. You're in Georgia right? I wonder what Rudys would charge to build one for you. It would take a lot of headaches and guess work out of it cause a 6.0 can be a lot of them unless you're experienced.

The last Smut bashing thread in AWOL was locked down. Disappointing since it was getting good. Anyways, Will your electronics all hook up from the 04' or will all that have to be changed over? One thing I would look into if I were changing out engines was moving the FICM off the engine, possibly using a harness from an E-series. What kinda power are you looking to put down after the swap?

Why don't you like the "04" engine? In regards to the miles, you could have just put new bearings and rings for way less. Assuming cylinder walls were still within spec. I would have done that if it's going to be a "built motor" anyways.

But I guess I hear ya on the spare parts deal.

The heat and vibration from the engine is what kills the FICM's. I just ordered a new 58v unit from Quick tricks auto. I have been looking for a cheap E-series harness so I can relocate my FICM. It was just a thought for you.
