Our 5EK is a 97 model. Ive been told the higher horsepower ones break more, I dunno. This one was rated for 475 but pulls like a 550.

What made me mad about the whole situation was it just had a six hole overhaul and bearing roll in before we bought it.singlescrewshaker, Slowpoke KW, cke and 6 others Thank this. -

Yes, if it's out. You can sonic check for thickness too. This is how I know that any port work on the intake side of a 12.7l is No bueno! Most million mile cranks need straighted too and true up the upper and lower surface to square the block up. Now with the all the heat cycles its considered a seasoned block. 2 twice as good as a new one. But this is far and few that people spend that kind of money.
Edit, this is my personal opinion. That's all.singlescrewshaker, Slowpoke KW, cke and 7 others Thank this. -

It had the original crank damper on it so maybe that contributed to the crank letting go. I think they need to be replaced every 500,000 miles.singlescrewshaker, Slowpoke KW, cke and 5 others Thank this. -

It was a big setback for us. I had done so much work on the rest of the truck over the years that I just could not push it in the trees. We had it rebuilt and still runs strong to this day.singlescrewshaker, Slowpoke KW, cke and 7 others Thank this.
