    New valve seals fail

    What were the symptoms that caused the customer to bring it back? I use the same sets all the time & haven't had any trouble.

    What's the best 1/4 mile pass with this truck?

    It was like 23.8* timing with 4000+ us pulse width. I lol'd

    Mahle Gasket set.

    Yeah most guys on here aren't dealers on performance parts. I deal in parts too but some of his prices are really good!

    Mahle Gasket set.

    Mahle gasket sets & Clevite bearing sets are all I ever use. You'll have a really hard time beating Creature's prices:thumb:

    Lb7 and LBZ PPE Manifolds the Same?

    Um nothing different from 01 to 2015.... I use LML drivers side manifolds on all model engines & welded passenger side up pipes fit any model engine when doing an egr delete. Another reason I love these engines:D

    What converter

    The Suncoast 10531 will get you all the boost your heart desires;) 2800 stall is too loose for towing heavy but it'll be your best friend at the track. With cheaters I cut 1.60 60's. The Hollyrock cc pulled off 10.1 @ 6900 lbs with this converter.

    Fast CC/SB

    That's exactly what I was looking for:) I bet the combination of clutches it has is the same I like to use. I've never upgraded the P2 but I will when it's time to make big power. How are you guys liking the 10531? It's hands down the best improvement I made to my truck!

    Fast CC/SB

    Everything about this truck is awesome! You don't see too many cc trucks running fast & especially not with an Allison! Can you tell us more about the transmission? Is the P2 planetary still stock or has it been upgraded?

    Got my 11!

    Thanks! It was good meeting you up there! One of these days I wanna watch your single cab run:D

    Got my 11!

    Yeah I was surprised how well it 60d. The guys up there really prep the track well. In Ennis in October or November it might click off a low 11. It weighed 6400 lbs with me in it. I still have some more weight I can drop & I can still push the motor harder.

    Got my 11!

    Thanks man! I've got Rancho 9000s all the way around set to 9. The rear has bags set on custom brackets welded to the axle like in Luke's thread with only 2 leafs. It has home made traction bars that work like cal tracs.

    So 10.13 on stock output shaft?

    Got my 11!

    11.83 @ 114 Went up to Amarillo last weekend to try out the cheater slicks. Ran it on my 2300us tune. 23* timing right at the shift. Launched at 22 psi & covered the 60' in 1.60. The da was at 6450'. I also beat the local diesel record of 11.86 that was set 8 years ago by a Cummins:woott...

    Cylinder bore repair?

    Yeah all the Cat & Detroit engines we overhauled when I worked on big trucks were sleeved. It made the job a lot easier. Just order all 6 piston & sleeve sets with pistons & rings already in the sleeve.

    Cylinder bore repair?

    Ok that's new info to me. If they've got it figured out that's great.

    Cylinder bore repair?

    Man I don't know about putting sleeves in one. Something about that sounds too much like a junky cummins build. Now for stock application it might be ok but I sure wouldn't trust it to make any real power. I'd just start looking for a good used block. Besides a failure like dropping a valve or...

    Broken Crankshaft Count?

    I know I'll do an af cam next time the heads are off my motor. I'm convinced it at least "helps" to change the firing order
