CHIT! there are 6 more on the outside of the head, for a total of 18! ya it cme right off.. Thanks guys, I'll post a pic of two cyl. that are toast!

 

That is because for the 2001 and 2002 models I searched it said 6.0 head. Hmmm?

 

Here are some pics, cyl. 5 and 7. I understand now why this thig smoked like a freight train! something got in there and beat the chit outta the piston, rings are all but gone.. slaps back and forth 1/8" not good.

i typed in 1999, didnt even look for the year truck he had, my mistake..saw the same thing though when i typed in 2000

18 bolts??

 

Yep there it is

"42. Remove the 18 cylinder head bolts."


DUH! wow i get in a hurry and miss 6 bolts!! *******! Thanks guys

 

It is amazing that thing was running at all. Diesels are tough man.

 

WTF got into the cylinder to do that kind of damage?

 

Did anything come out of the cylinder when you removed the head?!?!? And was the turbo shot???? Get a picture of the underside of the head too please if you can.... i wanna see how this compares to ccg's work...

 

You got me LMAO on this post.
And those are some seriously beat up pistons.
