I'm very curious about the turbo and what was causing the issues. Hopefully it won't be too expensive 😎

KDavid, it sucks that you are having issues with your 6.0. At least you will have peace of mind with the rest of the bulletproofing done.

I have been throwing around the idea of upgrading my "stock" reman. turbo. If it were me, i would go with a powermax or a kc turbo if a replacement was needed.

I hope the shop does your truck right and it all works out. Scary times for sure though.

My bet is vgt since it actually looked pretty good when I split it. But then again was my first time and could have jacked something up lol.

Yeah I think I'll be good. One thing I hate is sending to a shop with one price then leaving with another but I was pretty straight forward and won't take anything more. These are pretty good guys. I even asked for pics of the hg and they actually take video (sound familiar) I'd still rather take a swift kick in the tenders as to have to deal with a shop Getting the studs done is for exactly the reason you said piece of mind and be done with it.

Was thinking the dark spots but not sure (thought more rusty)

Good thing is my heads are straight. Did think at first sight i had a piston kiss on one piston but it was just carbon build up.
