    Yeah my truck runs cool as a cucumber now. Its pretty bagless in the power department however. My buddy had one that was pushing right around 700 and the trucks got 1.7 million on it now on the same block/crank. No damage at all to mine, caught it early. Had a 3412 in a chipper puke all the coolant into the engine, wash the pistons, wipe bearings and threw a rod through the block.....that was bad.

    Anyone have any part #'s of all the parts id need to go to a 550.

    Also who/how can i get the ecm flashed for 550?

    It can be built to the 550hp and it will run good. We have one that is a 96 5EK and it was 455hp.
