    Valve lash

    I would pull pushrods and measure/inspect for wear as well as rolling on a flat surface like James suggested to check for straightness. I typically avoid most things Wagler but that's my preference. I typically run everything Manton (or private label Manton like XDP) as I've never had a...

    Allison replacement quote question

    Personally I run OEM hard parts at that HP level. If it's something I know the customer is going to abuse at the top end of the rating I will sleeve the C2 hub. Above that I go to a billet C2/P2 combo with billet shafts. That's worked well for me and I have not had to warranty a unit. Thank you!

    Allison replacement quote question

    Personally we charge $5750 plus tax for a prebuilt uninstalled unit rated to 750whp. We charge $750 to install including fluid, hot flush, and adaptive reset/quick learn. That's good clutches (18 friction C1, 7 friction C2, 6 friction C3/C4 w/LML springs and pistons, OEM C5), Goerend billet...

    01-10 steering box redhead ,PSC ,OEM

    I have never received a 4 bolt box from Rock Auto under than PN, only the proper 6 bolt box and I've had great luck with them. I cannot comment on any other retailer. I did buy 2 of the EBay boxes that were 6 bolt in the images but received 4 bolt boxes. As such, I would not recommend buying...

    CP4 Conversion kit

    I had the customer source emissions compliant tuning from someone like PPEI/Duramax Tuner.

    Yes it is the 978418GB PN as referenced in this thread on quite a few pages. I don't order them by fitment, I order off of PN alone.

    01-10 steering box redhead ,PSC ,OEM

    I bought one a month or so ago without an issue and did get a 6 bolt box. I do not, sorry. We only stock a few for jobs at our facility.

    Looks like the proper PN. I've been buying them from RockAuto so I cannot confirm if the Amazon link will deliver a 6 bolt box.

    Current record for the Oval Race Cast pistons!

    I've had very very good results with them as well.

    Well there goes my chances of 9s this year

    Yes. It's two flanges with o-rings and a sealing "ring" is inserted over them. The clamp sets the maximum distance between the flanges/stops them from coming out of the sealing ring as well as locating the sealing ring. They work very very slick. I typically like to use 1 per pipe if possible...

    Got Sludge?

    Analysis is the only way to properly run extended intervals IMO. Any oil these days will run an OEM interval it seems. Personally I'm a big Hot Shot's or CenPeCo guy for engine oils as neither have done me wrong and it's hard to argue with their performance. That's not saying others are bad...

    Built motor oil

    It's a bit of both. The material used has a higher melting point. Also due to the lack of an oil chamber in the piston (best term I can come up with right now) they have more thermal mass and thus don't heat up as quickly. Plus they usually have very generous radii on all cuts and bowl designs...

    Well there goes my chances of 9s this year

    The vanjen style (Vibrant) connections allow for a decent amount of misalignment and will handle engine movement no problem, especially when used on each end of the pipe.

    Built motor oil

    It's not too hard to swap coolers. With the larger cooling stack of a 06+ truck the 2020 cooler really doesn't have any downsides. As for oil we tend to stick to CenPeCo or Hot Shot's. CenPeCo super-race or S3 is what I used to run in everything and had zero bearing issues. I've switched to Hot...

    SAC injector whine?

    I've never heard injectors "whine", it more so sounds like you have something loose. I would start with a leak test by removing the intake and applying compressed air into the inlet of the turbocharger to 30-40psi. Spray all the intercooler piping connections (and intercooler end tanks) with...
