Split an Excursion in half to make it BulletProof
After 100,000 miles, my dads 6.0 Excusion is now suffering from the dreaded EGR problem. Sooo, we loaded it on a trailer and hauled it to Phoenix to meet our new friends at BulletProofDiesel.
BulletProof has since split it in half as they say it's much easier to work on the engine this way. It only takes the mechanic two hours to perform the split before starting the open heart surgery.

Wow! That'd make for much easier work! Only 2 hours to get them separated? Wonder if there is a write up or checklist of stuff to disconnect prior to separating the cab...?

Thanks everybody for the tips and feedback.
Hmmm, I couldn't remember so I had to call him and find out...
He says BulletProof is doing a Stage III upgrade. This consists of a new modified EGR cooler, a new modified oil cooler, new bypass oil filter that filters down to 10 microns, new heads with Stellite valve seats and new head studs. Out the door should be about $8K.
You can find a lot more info in their Q's and facts section as well as a couple magazine articles on their site.
