Also, found out that one of my neighbors is a diesel mechanic who loves 7.3s. When I told him I was going to do a LPOP and water pump he said to do a front cover as well due to the LPOP wearing on the front cover, so he’s going to help me do a full rebuild this fall, because if I’m pulling the motor, it’s getting rebuilt haha

HA. Fuzzy's made it to CO? They started here in Ft Worth by TCU around 02. Used to eat there after getting partied out on weekends!
Looks like wheel cyl to me also.

oh yeah I’ve been eating fuzzys out here for years haha. Found out that I lost my lug nut key in the move, so I was unable to rotate and check out that corner today. Feeling the backing plate, it is covered in gear oil though

It does. Not sure exactly how much. This was my first trans fluid change since I bought the truck, so I’m not sure how much fluid the pan usually holds, but it took almost 10 quarts to fill back up

So I have a laundry list of parts I am going to replace when I rebuild the motor. Is there anything in particular that you guys think should be changed or at least though about whenever the engine is torn down? I'm searching around and have already found some little things like welded oil jets. Also, what are peoples thoughts on camshafts? Any reason to go to an aftermarket cam? Not trying to go crazy with the build, but I am highly considering going to 180/30 or 205/30 injectors and upgrading to a kc300x stage 2 turbo while I am doing all this crap

ARP fasteners for everything....
A port and polish on the heads would be a huge upgrade I'd you could get it done correctly. These heads flow like crap.
There is also a weld in dipstick fix for way cheaper than the Strictly Diesel mount. I think it's around 60 bucks on CPAddict.

IMO I would do a stock rebuild with ARP head studs, unless you plan on pushing big power then start looking more into the higher end of stuff.
if you can source cheap I would do super duty fuel system, it's reliable and from what I've read it's more than capable of supporting 400hp+
