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.
