Yeah, 4wd the whole way. Jarrett said he broke a shift fork trying to pull it out of 4. I shift to 2 right before I am bout to turn on the return road. I got the check valve at Oriellys, it was like $7 lol. Wish I would have had it at the track...

Turns out the bearings and crank didn't play nicely, so the 6.0 has to come out for a full teardown/rebuild. Can't say why just yet, but improper lubrication looks to have played a part in its demise. Funny thing was the only sign of problems was low oil pressure. It made no noise out of the ordinary.

In the mean time I will be temporarily be jumping on the stock 4.8 bandwagon with foose04 and Most Hated, so the truck won't be benched while I rebuild the 6.0
