Man that's a dam shame, makes me wonder how in the world those kind of outfits stay in business. At least you got the right man working on it now, if he can't fix it it ain't broke...lol

I know what ya feeling there X. Found mine in Kansas..."Clean" Carfax, 1 owner 108k on it and seats still smelled new...Well, after blowing injector cups, new head gaskets, a stolen entertainment center (long story), a few injectors and other minor things. After learning so much over these months about these engines, I noticed its got a reman HPOP, so somewhere in its life somethings been wrong, and I am scared to death almost to take it out in fear of something going wrong!!!
But she's running good now, got new flush and Peak ELC and gonna have a new oil change this weekend!!!
OH, and a new entertainment center!!
Pics to come!!

Hope thats "all" you got going on with it there X keeping up with ya'
Cheers!!!

Yeah, I am waiting on new hardware for the manifolds. They were leaking pretty good around cylinders 5 & 7 and 6 & 8. I already have new gaskets for them.

I will be checking a few more things today just to be certain it doesn't have anymore problems. I had an F550 6.0 come in and needed injectors yesterday. It was a work truck and was needed for today so I had to stop and work on that. Well needless to say, it's probably a FICM on that and I don't have one of those just sitting around. So I will be working on it again today. Both Todd's and Tom's engines will be getting finished up here as timely as possible and reinstalled.

Couple things . Are you gonna still drill the turbo for the gauges ? and can you pressure test the radiator ? The paperwork from the dealership says it had a leak ?? Are we still changing the trans cooler to a 6.0 and or V10 ?
