sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
was it the head gasket?
Reefer, it's where souls go to die.
and, Scott we're waiting on Dad to get his new cylinder head, what do you expect ?
Bit the bullet and went ahead and got a BD Iron Horn kit coming, the S363SXE/76 0.91 A/R to get rid of the VGT. Ordered non-VGT tune and keeping stock injectors, not trying to go wild with this thing but the turbo was tired at 184k after looking at it more closely, has considerable amount of in n out play on shaft. Rather just get something more reliable than have this one fail after all this repair work ?
Hell of a head gasket swap! Ha nice upgrades.

Oh hell yeah.
I like the idea of stock injectors. So many people go the overkill route on nozzle size, which can make it a nightmare to tune. Stock injectors aren't always the best choice, but they do have tons more potential than they're given credit for.
That turbo should work very well for you. No more exhaust brake, but that's something you can add back if you miss it too much.
You should be able to pull the ECM and have it bench flashed, although I'm not 100% sure since it's not a commercial engine. Are you planning to stick with EZ Lynk?I am partially afraid of the tune because the EZ Link AA3 essentially 'stacks and/or modifies' the existing tune and I have no idea what tune that is right now. I'm assuming its nothing extreme but once its back together I have a non-VGT tune that I will download from the cloud and just keep fingers crossed ?
I'm told the only other way to verify new tune will work is to get dealer factory reflash then install new tune but not sure how I can get truck to dealer if it doesn't even run right but obviously won't know till I fire engine up.
Hopefully cylinder head gets shipped next week, it's approaching my alloted lead time ???
Truck all back together and running good, head gasket was problem

What did you end up doing about the tune?
