I’m not sure ? I’m asking bc I really don’t know? Seems most info is on Facebook.
I don’t have Facebook so I’m out of loop on stuff lol.

These are the two best stock bottom end L5P trucks that I’ve seen the sheets on. One is a single and one is a compound truck.

I originally wanted to put the Danville turbo in my truck but when I talked to LinCo Diesel last July they had paused selling them because of the oil usage. https://www.duramaxdiesels.com/forum/threads/l5p-drop-in-turbos.86850/
I ended up getting away from my original plan to keep the truck on stock fuel and put in a S472. The only time it can't keep it clean during normal driving is when I'm in 6th and it doesn't want to downshift on the highway, but I'm also on 35s. Can't comment on tow performance yet, supposed to move my dad's boat this weekend though.

Well, get ready for the multitude of "Can I use L5P rods in my build?" threads from here on out.....

They are badass trucks but not that bad! They still are not a substitute for the aftermarket parts

I know, Shane.....but the more that guys advertise "1000hp on stock bottom" the more apt its going to happen. Trust me, it will.

I should have put this smiley after my last post: :rolleyes:

I do wish you could put the heads on the older trucks. It would be nice if someone would make a casting to fit like an LBZ and machined for lbz injectors

I did not know this. I thought there was a thread about it somewhere and someone said the bolt patterns wouldnt line up. I’ll have to go back and find the thread and read through it.

I think they are saying entire transplant
