How do you know if you have good or bad? Is there a way to tell or test?
If you pull the piston out, and it is split down the middle, you have a bad one.

Thanks, that is what I figured....
I have a customer truck with a 2004 LLY with a hole or a cracked piston on #1, and he is trying to decide the best route with my help....
But my built motor, that I put together, with cut and coated pistons from SoCal ended up cracking a piston after two seasons at 900+ rwhp and 80+ hooks and 6000ish street miles... But I needed the steel ringlands because it was a daily driver in the off season....
Who makes the LML pistons? Would they be a alternative that would be better than the LB7/LLY pistons for a daily driver/sled puller dmax?
To run an lml piston you would need an lml rod as other current rods don't fit in the pistons.
Yep...or a carillo/crower with a modified small-end.
Curtis (Halverson?) from DPR, Tony Burkhard, Eric Merchant, Randy's Machine. Just a few possibilities off the top of my head.Anybody figure out who got the other four sets yet?
1) TTS?
2) Braydon or is it Brandon? Who did the TV show there awhile back?
3) Who else is got a fast truck out there or a builder?
Who's getting Socal's set?
If we can't figure it out we could always start some rumors.

First off I think treads like this make this forum the best Thanks Pat and Crew. One thing to add is that these (test) pistons are billet not forge like the productions will be what effect will this have on weight with the finished product?
That's kinda what I was thinking as the end product might be lighter or stronger. The question is which.Forged is stronger, so they can make the walls thinner. Whether that's what happens? Guess we will see.
I would guess Banks would get 2 sets, as they have both a truck and a dragster that could test them.
I'm getting a weight of 764 grams for the Arias "turbo style" piston.
20 over bore Duramax arias piston weights 748 grams without rings and pin.
