Our latest project
Here it is
This truck is just so my in-laws have a 6l to show their friends what their kids do. This truck had a blown cyl 8. We swapped the block and did new lifters and rings n bearings. Rad hoses, ps pump, coolant pump, ect,ect. Basically everything that anyone would want. The truck was bought from a tire shop and it was trashed inside. Not any more. Lol
Just another example of why it costs so much to do stuff right. You get what you pay for.
What do you guys think??? I paid $2k for the truck,, and dropped about 4500 in parts.

I just gave the keys to them at our Xmas family thing tonight. Hes a dodge driver. I told them this is the best way to get them in a 6l. He can use it to go get parts for the dodge. Lol. They needed another truck. The 4500 is more like 4000,,, with the 1000 machine shop and studs n oil cooler, and the interior was only 400 with the headliner.

Looks great! You guys really do nice work. The attention to detail is far superior than any other shop I know of. Keep it up. Lucky in-laws.

No vendor status anymore. We did it for a year. It served its purpose,, but our local workload has grown so much,, I couldn't keep up with the time it took to get any return on the investment. Plus I like not having to be so "politically correct". Right now I'm just another dude on the forum. I can say what I want. Lol.

Great work buddy!!! I still kind of miss my '07. Don't get me wrong, my 6.7L is treating me well SO FAR, but there are times I miss the classic diesel of my old 6.0L. I kind of miss having you guys around too. Merry Christmas by the way.
