Studs
So where is the best place to buy studs these days?

I took my truck in for low power, P0299 while towing, hard cold starts and poor mileage this week. They called today and said they are replacing the FICM and that they found the head gaskets were leaking a little. He asked me if I wanted to have it studded and naturally I said heck yes. Now I need to source the studs.

I found the best price at Brown's Diesel. They were backordered when I got mine, so I ended up waiting two weeks, but definitely a good price and great service.

If you have to do HG's then ARP studs the way to go. See if they will do bummy plugs and stand pipe and maybe the STC fitting while it's down, did they address the PO299.

Another vote for Browns. You might want to have them sent to a friend. I don't think they deliver to garbage cans.

I'll probably see them next week. Hopefully sooner rather than later so they can get my truck turned around.
