    Yep, c-16 crank, piston packs, turbo, ecm flash. Or install an acert crank with 7172 liner packs reflash ecm and turbo for a 15.2 and have a better setup.

    15.2 that sounds like a Frankenstein? Interesting.

    I'm retarded. I don't want to Jack that 5EK post. But can't the push rod 3406 be made special? I'm trying to get to the point that many people talk about the 6bt Cummins being as good or better than new versions. And can get better mpg, and very big power, and meet somewhere in the middle for everyday.

    Awesome. I'm only familiar with series 60 as a driver. And minor stuff like oil change, and fuel filter. And programming type disscussion.
