Yeah that's why I hooked it up to a gooseneck and worked it pretty hard right after the rebuild. It REALLY helped it run better after that trip.

 

So.... I went ahead and ordered a new intercooler today. Mishimoto black! Big thanks to Jacob at Diesel Auto Power!

That usually helps alot. If I decide to keep my truck in 3 years I will be having the engine rebuilt to handle the extra power I'm throwing at it but mostly a good freshening up. I sourced the pistons thanks to your picture. The piston has the part number on it. The last digit is different depending on the bore size. I plan on keeping the factory bore size as long as the wear is minimal it will just be rehoned.

That intercooler should help some with your EGT. I'm running a BD intercooler and I like it alot.

Hopefully it lowers them.

 

I would strongly recommend against just honing it because of what I said in the PM earlier. With a lot of miles it's likely the bores aren't round anymore and you may run into trouble getting the rings to seat properly. Way I see it, if you're going that far into it just get it bored. I think the boring only cost me $500-$700, and that included a sonic cleaning (If that's what it's called), all passages scrubbed by hand, boreing, and honing.

I will have the bores measured first if they are our of round I'll bore them otherwise they will be seeing a hone.

I'm still betting they are within factory spec still only reason I say this is 2 blocks I have stripped in the past I measured and they were at factory spec and those engines had over 300,000 miles. Like I said I measure first and I mean lots of measuring.

It was really interesting how the truck acted with zero boost fooling. 3rd gear it seemed to really limit the engine's power once above 25psi of boost. 4th gear it pulled up to 32psi of boost then limited power, and fifth gear it held steady at 30psi. Max I could get the egts to was 1050 :lmao:

It'll be nice to give a review of an upgraded intercooler. I can't find reviews for anything anywhere.....

 

I am thinking that means the aftermarket ones are "good enough."

We'll see. I really liked the way Mishimoto stepped through their whole design and build process on Cummins Forum. They didn't keep anything a secret, and that's why I decided to give them my business! ( and DAP for supporting the site)

Me: No way this is getting fixed....

Body guy: Give me a couple hours and I'll get back to you 

 

An hour later - Body guy: Give me another hour

Me: Idk I'm still skeptical....

 

BAM this guy works wonders! Hopefully finishing up the body line tonight.

Well the kit made of stainless is 1700, then the intake horn is 250, then the alternator bracket and thermostat housing are more, so it's probably around 2100+ with shipping.

I picked it up for 1300 shipped.

 

Vais, I'm going to keep the one in my signature.
