Hi every one, I haven't posted anything before becouse averything I have is old hat but when the ____ hit's the fan it hits hard.

First I had an offer to put my truck ( 07 6.0 crew cab duelly 4.30 rear end ) on the Dyno and see what it was doing with the Big Hose Bundle. We put it on setting #3 ( this is what I pull my trailer on ) and got 364 hp w/ 638 lb-ft torque, we held the speedo at 70 mph. Next we let it all out #6, 421 hp w/ 762 lb-ft torque 70 mph, not bad but I thought it could do better so we did it again for max power output. Thats when she blew. It started to smoke a little and the water temp started to go up, fan kicked in and we shut it down. Turns out I blew the head gasket. Long story short I had to remove all my mods to get ford to cover the work. The Dealer was ok with the exhaust and intake. Repairs were done and I opted to replace the air intake with an AFE System. ( it was free, just to see if it is any better than the Banks) I also replaced the head bolts with stronger ones. I have to break it in again and then put every thing back on. I did hook up the 6 gun but i'll leave it on the stock setting for a little bit. ( till i get sick of no power, ha ) One note, This was not a good Dyno run but if I ever get another chance i'll do it again and ya I had to do the ZooDad.

Here's a few pic's of my ride.

When I dyno'd for the first time (when I had a 6gun, and before I knew any better) the best it managed was 381rwhp and 734 rwtq.

I'm having a hard time believing that big butt dually hit 421 with a 6gun.

But then again, I could be wrong :dunno

Hey Bamasixgun

Do you think the Dyno was false? It was my first time and i'm pretty green on Dyno's. I was hoping for more with the Big Hoss Bundle. Mabe i'm fooling myself?

Thanks for your input

I don't work at Ford & have nothing to do with the industry - & it still gets my blood boiling. I won't waste my breath (fingers) bashing someone who thinks they're entitled to play at the expense of others. (Ford & IH employees, Ford & IH shareholders) Some people just don't care how their actions affect others. :rolleyes:

I think if you blew it up, you need to pay, not Ford.

I fried my tranny once messing around doing 4wd HI launches, I was honest and up front about what I did to my buddies at the Ford dealership and it cost me over 3 grand.

I probably helped my head gaskets fail from tuners and playing with power, I paid to have the engine pulled and to have head studs put back in.

If you blew it up, just take care of it dude.

What does the truck being a dually have to do with how much power it can put to the ground? They take the 2 outside tires off, usually. I'm lost on this one.
