Welp guys my worst fears were confirmed trucks been down for 7-8 months with what was originally suspected to be a bad injector, however I had a suspicion that I had something else going on. Long story short army has kept me to buisy to mess with it for the last 7 months so it sat. Bought a cheap endoscope off eBay a few weeks ago now that I have some time on my hands (going through meb board) and #6 piston has a nice crack (shitty picture of a picture) truck has been my pride and joy for the last 5 years but she will now be sitting for awhile until I can come up with the funding to build her. Not gonna go full retard aka. Forged pistons, ext. As it will be my DD I'm pretty dead set on fingers pistons herd a lot of great things. Any input is welcome

Build it right the first time. Fingers pistons are a good choice.

That's one pretty truck you've got there

When you yank the engine, put load on the hoist and then place a jack under the bell housing and tilt the bell housing up, this will help the engine slide away from posts on the Bell housing and also help the engine mounts to release, least that was my experience :thumb:

And then remember to do that again upon install :D
