9k with all parts and labor biggest expense being $2200 for the KDD heads

I dropped my truck off here while they were in the middle of this job. Meeting these guys here and watching them work i knew these guys are the business. They did a dcr conversion on my 2019 super duty and did a phenomenal job. If you anywhere close to this shop and have a diesel truck, and you want top notch work and not getting racked over the coals like the dealership and other shops, this is the place to take your truck. Andrew and his guys knows what they doing.

23:02 do you check the cylinder head deck for flatness? I’ve heard (not read forums) that lack of flatness is a problem with many a 6.0.
@AutomedicGarage3 ай бұрын
Those were brand new KDD heads no need to check and if you were meaning to refer to the block deck surface no I did not, if the block was getting pulled yes I would have because it would have been going to the machine shop anyway. So be never had a block be out but heads in the other hand are the typical issue which is why I will not do a 6.0 head gasket job with factory heads anymore.
@tfriesen38663 ай бұрын

@AutomedicGarage22 күн бұрын
@@starhopper457 the truck had a performance tune put on it by the owner. It didn’t have headstuds therefore could not handle the higher boost and cylinder pressure so it stretched the factory torque to yield head bolts allowing the head to lift and the head gasket to fail.

Mr Automedic, I've got a 2000 F350, 7.3 automation transmission that i bought new. It came from the factory with 215/85/16 tires which I have upgraded to 235/85/16. My speedometer is now approximately 3 mph off when I check it against a GPS. Do you have a computer or programmer to change the tire size in the trucks computer to 235/85/16? I know this may sound trivial to some but I'm meticulous about my vehicles being right and this speedometer being off drives me crazy!
