OK this thread is all about a truck build not somebody's personal issues. If you want to talk about it take it to PM's. As much as I am not a Dmitri fan this kind of stuff has no place on this board. Regardless of what anybody thinks of this guy it is not right to speculate here.

Back to the engine. Any specs on whats done internally? Who's heads? Pistons? cam selection? Internal balance?

Shiloh might know. Can mods delete all the Dimitri drama or do we need to close this thread and start a new one?

Crank looks keyed so unless they reused a keyed crank or had a change of plans I would bet on it being externally balanced.

It was said the motor / Engine was going into a pick up what transmission or it hasn't been decided yet? Curious as to the set up

PCS controlled E Valve body is what they have at their disposal. It'll prolly come back here to suncoast for some updates but nothing has been mentioned about a Manual V/B as of yet

They must all suck then if you had an issue. :rolleyes: A PCS could easily be more consistent than manually shifting.

Whatever you say cheech all I know Is that there are issues with the PCS controller that are not said in public. Suncoast tried everything to get it to work but it was decided to go to a manual valvebody it was on a 1250hp/2500 ft lbs truck

Maybe this specific decision was made because of a time frame? I don't know.. However, I do know that we have numerous shop trucks with the PCS system and have sold countless numbers of the E valve bodies/wiring harnesses and TCM's with no issues what so ever. Theres always going to be the exceptions….
