]Long story short I cracked a piston in my 6.4 a few weeks ago. Contemplated just rebuilding the 6.4 but thought I'd do something much cooler instead. So last week I made the drive out to Palmyra, Nebraska to pick up some parts from Mr. Mark Nixon. Going to be running an 03 commonrail 5.9, NV5600, and 06 commonrail harness and ecm. Getting started on this here in a few weeks hopefully when I get my truck back from getting some body work done.
Blowby after I cracked the piston.

The engine itself. Bought with a slight tick and when I pulled the head I saw that a few pistons had just barely been tapping the head. Nothing an oversize hg won't fix.
