Well it is all tore down and the head gaskets were farked. It looked a lot like a Lightning. I am supposed to get new heads and gaskets. I'll have to talk with the writer tomorrow and go over a few of the details.

Are you getting the new ARP bolts, etc?

ARP isn't good enough for a diesel. I bought super duper H11 head studs.

Just got off the phone with the writer. He said my truck aroused some suspicion since the stock exhaust looked brand new and I left my NX license frame on there. I meant to pull it off but I told the service writer I pulled race cars with this truck and sometimes I put the left over stickers on the truck and tool box etc... I told them they are idiots if they think I have NX on the truck because of a license plate frame and the 1/8th inch plug in the intake.:icon_eek:
He said they are goiing to cover the repair.:cool:

Yeah I pulled my pillar because they follow the same ignorant logic on any non Ford part VOID! Apparently it is against the Ford doctorine to have gauges so you can monitor trans temp, EGT temp, boost level, and airbag pressure:icon_eek:
