I should say .001 top and bottom not mixing old and new

That’s what I’m talking about. I’m looking at the cylinder bores with the piston at tdc and they look great. The internals look like it has very little run time and I’m basing that off the fact that if a diesel has any blowby or a decent amount of run time the internals are going to be stained...

I got the optimizer in a couple weeks ago actually. Have been a little slow on getting it ready but I’m ready to go now. I’ve got the pan pulled and this thing is clean! Looking at the cylinder bores from the bottom and they don’t even have a glaze on them so I’m not going to mess with pulling...

It's coming as a long block so no extras but I will have a couple good heads to sell. One only has a couple hundred miles on it. Got it from clear water cylinder heads and installed it shortly before the oil pressure went south. I think I'd be asking for the correct engine to be sent my way if...

I hope so. I made sure they new it was going in a truck and I needed one for the side mount turbo

OK I got an optimizer on the way from Teds. Margaret is awesome to deal with by the way. Called this morning and she had the engine on a truck this afternoon. Should get to me Tues or Wed. So @WarWagon I love to be able to do a refresh on it once it arrives but I'm going to play the I'm broke...

I haven’t called yet but it looks like he has a couple optimizers. Do they have any special deals if I was to mention this site? Just curious. I’ll take any discounts I can get.

That's not a bad find on the 6.2's especially since they go th400's with them. I think you guys have done good talking me out of even looking at this block for another minute. I'm looking to have a truck that I don't want to worry about dropping a crank out in the road somewhere while towing a...

Well the cracks weren't causing the pressure loss. I am just wondering if this will keep the block from cracking worse and if so then I could get a new crank and have the mains line bored and proceed on with new bearings and just re-ring since it's already .040 over there's not much left to bore...

I know what a done right rebuild cost and I wasn't planning on going there. My plan was re-ring and new bearings and be on my merry way so that's where the small budget come from. I hate telling on my self but I had the pan off a while back putting in an oil pump in a obviously failed attempt to...

The crank still has paint pen on it and says the crank was cut .0095 but my measuring shows it was less than that and they installed .010 bearings so I'm thinking it was too tight. I don't know how many miles were on this rebuild before I got the truck so the truth may never be known. Could've...

Right! surprisingly all good on the top side. I'm working with a small budget so at this point it's like the whats the best route for the money I'm working with. My machine shop says no way are they working on a cracked block so I'd have to come up with a way to drill and tap the bolt perfectly...

So I pulled the 6.5 because of low oil pressure and tore it down. All the bearings are into the copper so there's that but the three center main webs are cracked at the outer main bolt holes. I have done some reading on repairing this with the lock n stitch inserts and a few people are all about...

Thanks for looking for that chart. So what is it going to do if I put a chip from a 4.10 gear in mine? Also I found this old thread that makes me wonder about the gear ratios being part of the chip programming. I’m not saying anyone responding to this thread or that one is right or wrong...

Well I’m not even lucky enough to have 3.73. This trucks got 3.42. It is a 6 lug 2500 so that’s probably normal for them. I’m sure if your truck has 4.10 it would mess with the shifting in a bad way. @Jaryd I appreciate the offer for the chip though. I wish that would have worked out. Maybe...

Plus what he said.

This is the solenoids that causing the codes every time it tries to cycle the valve

I say 3.73s but let me check to make sure as well. That would be ideal if yours would work. I’ll check it out tomorrow

It’s a 94 auto 4l80,turbo,3.73 ratio. If you still have something on them that would be great. I keep getting egr codes and I’d rather not buy new solenoids that I don’t plan on using later
