Default while brads had a crappy day, mine was ok

i got the head gaskets and rod bearings in from a non sponsor. so all i'm waiting for is a mod to mail me some parts and i can begin building the 6.0 back up.

yes slowpo, you should be afraid.

you have a 6L why buy another one? or was it to sit on a stand looking all perty while some aftermarket parts replaced the weaker stock parts?

thats what i'm waiting for to come in. but i pulled all pistons out of the motor and i didn't want to chance reusing the same rod bearings. so i ordered some new ones. also, i got my aerotech scan gauge back today from warranty work. too bad i don't have a running truck to see if it works or not.

besides that stuff, i have all the parts in hand or on order to do my dual bottle setup in the bed. two heaters, pressure switch, Y, bottle brackets, etc.
