Thanks guys. I still feel a bit foolish for not remembering the change but I guess with me not having a hand in that part of the putting things back together is the reason. It does sound pretty nice.

Okay, I think I figured why the sound is being heard now and not before. Just before I did my heads, I did some body work which included changing the pass side fender. The fender had a snorkel in it from a gas job and my filter canister would not fit it correctly. While putting everything...

So I can get the code gone??? Cool. I will do that at the first chance I get. Many many thanks!!!:):) Oh BTW sorry for hijacking a bit!!

Me to. Should I be blocking the Baro off too? And if I did I would get rid of the code? The last scan i did I got three codes: 0101 (MAF), 0400(EGR), and 0401(EGR).

I unhooked my vacuum line for the EGR and plugged the end off at the solenoid. I did this when it acted up and was pouring out the black smoke from the exhaust. Never had any issues except for the code and the check engine light being on all the time. The EGR is still on the engine and never...

wow I thought my truck smoked bad at start up. Temps don't seem to matter so long as the truck is cold it smokes bad but about 1/2 as much as that. I love the smell too. I try and time the start just about the time the wife comes out the door. This way she gets a face full of the smoke as...

No, but I should mention that the head I used were a used set of Re-man heads. I re-used my injectors and replaced the GPs. Not that that should matter. Hell, I never even put a new air filter in her, but I do have to replace it along with the Fuel filter.

99% sure that never happened. I had them marked and the lengths are different not allowing them to be hooked up to the wrong spots. I will double check though. Thanks.

I just warmed mine up with a propane torch and it came right out. I replaced it with a barbed steel fitting and 1" hose and clamps.

Checked this AM and all is tight. Checked and got vacuum at the waste gate and it is free moving. Guess it is just something that happened for no reason. It does seem to have more power than before, but that might be the same seat of the pants feeling as having a louder exhaust.

Since I did my head gaskets I can now hear my Turbo. For the 8 years of owning this truck I could never hear it. Been in a number of other 6.5s and could hear theirs but not mine. It sounds as though it is spooling up correctly but thinking maybe there is a problem with the waste gate causing...

Yes got new head bolts. I heat dealing with TTY bolts but to swap them out is a bit of money. I changed to a piece of heater hose for the quick connect. I heated the thermostat housing before attempting to loosen it up. Came off real nice and slick. Everything seems good to go for a while...

Notice one small problem. The heater hose with the push in fitting is leaking (just a few drips) when there is little to no pressure. Once running it does not leak that I can see. I take it there is an "O" ring and clip replacement kit that goes there.

Got it back on the road. Drove it home last night. Almost 100k drive with no issues. Fingers are crossed that she will fire up with no pressure in the hoses and still lost of water in her. It only took a second to weld the manifold up. I weld but never played with cast before. Must say if...
