Ok after installing my injectors this weekend.....there is no oring. Sorry for the confusion. Too many times looking at 24v stuff.

I have attempted both ways (lines in place & lines removed). I had better luck with pulling the lines. Less fighting for me.

Welp the head is back on. Studs are installed. As well as the new injectors.. Got a couple little quirks to fix but I'll get to it. Cleaning out the oil coolant mix SUCKED. Took me about 6 hours to get most of it out. In the end Lysol dish soap worked the best, even better than the purple power I was using initially. The beginning of the head studs. In the picture you can clearly see I painted most of the stud with moly. Why? The moly lube will keep the black oxide coating from corroding. The majority of the studs on a 12v are exposed. The 24v trucks do not have this issue as most of their studs are under the valve cover. Only 6 studs on a 12v are under the valve cover. So all the rest get painted.

That setup is still short about 1k hp on one of Shane Kelloggs engines.

I would not have anything smaller than a 7x.012" or 6x.013" in there.

My 97 has a 8 blade.

They can leak.

It is called reduced power mode. Limp mode is the transmission. Issues with the map or anything that plugs into the map can cause the ecm to pull fuel. Been there.

Sorry I had skipped right across your post. I ordered mine through ebay with no troubles.

No filter mods. Most deeper pans come with a spacer block the stock filter bolts to.

Another option for eryone too. https://www.ebay.com/itm/727-A518-46RE-DOUBLE-DEEP-TRANSMISSION-PAN-DODGE-RAM-DIESEL-FINNED-ALUMINUM/111856143214?hash=item1a0b254b6e:g:5xcAAOSwwvZZQr04&vxp=mtr

I mean....if you are handy with a drill and a tap anything is possible....

Not what you said last time.... I need to find my extra elbow. Think it is on my kitchen table catch-all.

Yayyyyy more peer pressure. Now did you order extra hoes like I did...

I would be very careful about timing.

Stock (or small) turbo trucks with injectors & tuning are harder on head gaskets than about anything I have ever seen. Speaking from experice here lol. Yeppppp!

Buy some extra hose too.

The correct spot to measure fluid temp. is in the pan. The same place your factory sensor is on ALL 47res. I use the rule of 100* above ambient before getting nervous about trans temp. The fluid is good until a bit over 200*s F (exact number is escaping me). The difference between the derale pan and any of the cast aluminum pans is........the derale will not support the case from twisting forces like the cast aluminum pan will.

I wouldn't be too excited. It is a long arduous process.

Listen Linda...

Don't waste your time. The Borgeson boxes are nothing more than an 05ish era GM hd box.

Longer hose.....come on meow...

Medium thick. There is a .020" gasket as well. But yes, that is the idea. We have a good standing relationship with a local machine shop. My dad and the shop trade work between each other. For that price pure diesel power sells pre-machined pedestals......If I had a vertical mill I would do them myself. It takes about hour between setup and cutting. Just to make sure they are parallel. @dripley if you have any questions lemme know. I have these down to a pretty good science. I'll show eryone the proper way to install head studs as well.

Thank you. I may have to look into one of these as I am planning on compounds for my junk. I could give feedback on the single charger aspect on it as well. @trreed this may solve your gauge bounce.

He's got a few more to catch up to me lol
