ARP studs finally!

I finally found ARP head studs in stock. I have been looking around for a while and have found that hardly anyone even mentions it and the one I did find said you could only pre order but Riffraff diesel has them in stock. Just placed my order with him hope to have them early next week so excited! Also ordered Elite EGR block off plates, Elite Modded HPFP, and Elite ported fuel rails through Riffraff diesel.

Is there a reason you are doing this? To the best of my knowledge there isn't a problem blowing headgaskets on the 6.4.

I like the sound of that. Are you talking about a twin turbo upgrade?!

Didn't know you blew the top. Were you running some high tunes at the time? What was the issue surrounding this failure?

I certainly understand ungrading since you will be in there though.

High tunes and towing big weight and just over time I think it just worked it's way through the head gasket.

were you towing the heavy weight with a bigger tune like 275 or did you tone it down when towing?
