Yup, I was one of the early piston casualties. I was tuned on the edge in ABQ ( 5200 ft ) then went down to TX for the Hemi rally last year ( sea level ). 5 of the 8 pistons popped the crown and 3 of those lost rings. Funny thing was that this mostly happened in TX but the truck made it 800 miles back to NM, middle of summer with AC on, and got 17+ mpg. I took the WG off and never built boost else oil would blow out the breather ( crankcase pressure ).
I found a set of Ross pistons that the owner bought then sold his truck. $700 for the pistons, $150 gasket kit, machine shop, and 3 days of swap. Truck is running great, no lingering impact short of the turbo being sold to pay for the rebuild.
BTW I almost called you last week. Spent the weekend in the Mankato/Blue Earth area with family. Saw you are north of MSP so maybe next time!

Yeah, that sig was a little misleading! Changed it out.
Heard you are having some fun with the "new" TC now?!?
