My 05 LQ4 6.0 had the better cracked rods, It was sold to me as an LQ9 so the guy thought because of the rods, but when I pulled the heads I def had the dished pistons.

What failed? Crank? Rod? Pistons break? It can't all be junk.

If you insist on keeping stock rods and pistons get a GEN IV.

Sold the t56 and picked up a 4l80e for a core or to be built. Been looking at Monster for the trans. Thinking about the 750hp/700ftlb setup. Any other recommendations? Shopping for a forged rotating assembly as well.

Heard bad things about monster.... Heard good things about a few of the sponsors on here.... Im sure one will step up and give you some advice or set you in right direction.... I personally vote for build it yourself..
