Looking for 6.9 heads

Well the old horse finally let me know where my problem was today. It started chuffing when I pulled back in the shops parking lot today. I'm looking for a set of heads for a worst case scenario I know the one head is supposed to be new as the guy I bought the engine off of told me so and the head looked new. I'm hoping it is the older head that went bad.

You think there is a head problem?
It could just need valves.

I'm going with what my luck has been like lately. I didn't drive it far after it started chuffing. I limped it home and parked it. I'm going to pull the valve covers tomorrow night and probably pull the engine Thanksgiving day. I figure I'll take the down time as a chance to completely reseal the reman trans I bought. Now I just need to get an engine stand that won't collapse with the 6.9 on it. I left my good one in Ohio with the original 6.9 from the truck in Ohio. I hate buying duplicates of tools I already have.

In my line of work there are several tools I have bought 3 or 4 times, and still don't have one.

So I can relate to exactly what you are saying.

Send me a PM about how much you want for them. I'm tempted even if my heads are fine just to have spares.
