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

You told me you wanted to keep your other stuff in place. That big damn S480 isn't in a t6 1.32 housing with a 96mm turbine is it? Even the 1.10 is going to be rough. I hope you have the 83 turbine and a good bottle heater, then we can get it moving out the hole.

That's huge man...Not the compressor side, but the hot side. I bet you had a little lag with the 370.
I'd like you to enjoy it some while your getting rebuilt, but that hot side is past what I would consider drag only.

It does have a quick spool valve, so the lag wasn't too bad. Will certainly be a bit worse with the 4.8, but I can deal with it. If I had a manual transmission life would suck with that hotside...
