I kind of had the same feeling when I built White Out, so I used those special built cast Mahle pistons that both TTS and SoCal diesel got and they were custom cut. Don't think you can get them anymore, but all the forged pistons that are out there running and some have a lot of street miles on them I'm not too sure that they may not be OK.

@ bullfrog! WTF dude that was not calling him a baby you prick! More like I feel ur pain bc I have popped a motor also! I dnt give a crap if it pissed u off or not bc u took it that way is your problem! I even put a apologie deal bc some people dnt like that stuff up! I really dnt care if have worked on it or not! His time speaks for it self bro why or how was I bashing him? Hmmmm thank you! I was just putting up info as I got it and so u k ow the guy that txt me the info I told him " tell him congrats" and "whoop man that's great" so ya watch the way you pop off when u really dnt k ow anything. My truck might have a bent pushrod so I do know what it takes bc it's torn down in my drive way right now! Lol your post is the dang JOKE! Can't post anything up with out some1 going on a power trip.

I don't have to agree ...:bs: Hell ya he was having a bad day ... just lost a motor that he helped Josh with ... what is so hard to figure out Einstein? Some times it is better to know when NOT to say anything. :thumb:

Are you Pete or RePete? Go back to bed and roll off on the other side would you...

For your clarity: I too agreed he had a bad day and yes read, just as you as too why. Travis is a real nice guy and would normally not post such a flame.

Einstein? Oh the interwebby.... :spit:

Congrats Josh and Travis! Thats great power for sure. Been there and broke that(couple times now) so I feel your pain. We all know how much I like the bottle, so take this for what its worth, but my cast pistons greatly outlasted my forged.(no thermal coatings on either). Get her back together, and keep up the good work!

Congrats on the times , sorry to hear about the motor . not the kinda thing you like to hear about after spending the money it takes to have a "BUILT" motor
