Hey, thanks for checking out my truck. I have many projects but it has been one of my most loved. This is hard to do but I am at a crossroads with some of my other projects.
Here's the deal... I took the truck hurt to the Diesel Power Challenge this year, because I had little time to repair it prior to. I had some fueling and tuning problems that caused some burnt pistons (see pic below). The truck ended up running some low 11's that day at the event. Knowing the truck was hurt, and now with a blown freeze plug in the head, we decided to call it quits. The truck has been in my garage ever since we got it home.
I'm at the point where I need to decide what to do... sell the truck "AS IS", put a motor in it and sell it, or have a motor built to keep and/or sell. So this is just a "feeler" thread for me to see if I am that out of touch with reality. :confused013:
I'm asking $25,000 as the truck sits. This will include all parts that were on the truck (see pics) and I can sell the truck however the buyer requests (with or without rollbar , etc.) This will also include a completely refreshed full billet HTS trans (spare) and a spare stock '05 Cummins motor (complete with injectors, wiring harness, computer, minus turbo). I can also negotiate a price to have a motor built and put in the truck if interested.

BD Steering box brace
ARB front air locker - complete with the compressor (never used - installed just for the DPC )
Custom leather seats ( dark grey W/ silver inserts ) looks better than it sounds - :thumbsup:
Im sure there are plenty of things I will think of later.
I'm no engine guru by any means. These are just some ideas I had about the new engine.
"THE NEW ENGINE"
I have not quite figured out what my budget would be yet. I am prepared to spend whatever it takes to get it right. I plan to have it built as if I were gonna keep the truck . I don't like to cut corners on my projects. I'm scared to add up what i have put into this one over the last few years. With that said... I was thinking something like this:
-The cylinder head would be completely gone through. I want to check all the valves,valve seats, check valve springs , The fire -ring grooves, check for cracks ,and make sure everything is still flat and true .Replace and repair as needed.
-The block would be checked for any damage ,and then cleaned and prepped. Cylinders honed or taken out to eliminate any problems.
- Pistons cut and coated
-Billet Rods or Shot -Peened marine rods
-Completely balance everything
- install the cam that I have (Formula 1 - Helix2)
-Injectors sent off to be checked before put in the new motor
-Transmission will be completely refreshed before it goes back in
These are just some thoughts. If you are interested... We can come to an agreement and a figure $$$$ ,you can have it built anyway you would like.
I can do what ever you want to the truck. I have a 4.5 inch fabtech lift with dirt-logic shocks brand new in the box. I have 35" TOYO mud tires , brand new. i also have the stuff to take the truck back to about 600+HP. If any of this stuff interest you let me know.
Sorry this thread is a mess. Just contact me if you have questions.
Thanks again
