I know I saw a post on here before, but I can't find it now. Is there a way I can tell if my truck is studded or not without tearing it apart? I bought the truck with 155k on the clock, so I would be suprised if it isn't.
Studded or not?

You should be able to see the outer bolts/ studs above the exhaust manifolds.

passenger side front lower bolt/stud is really easy to see. Basically just below the valve cover at the front corner you should see either a stud or a bolt.

Bolts. Damn. Looks like I know what the next planned mod will be.

I know several guys with out any issues with 100% stock trucks at 220k+. Glad your going to stud that truck!

With my end goals for this truck in mind, studs are a must. Hoping this year it'll get studs, egr delete, and updated oil cooler. If funds allow, add injectors and tunes to the list.

Well you should get studs even if the truck is stock... Most guys that I know ate older and don't wanna do anything thing but drive them to church on Sunday

I tend to drive the ch!t out of my truck. I eventually would like to see 550 rwhp or so. Plans are to buy a 6.4 to go real fast later.
