I don't know why the drag-and-drop rotated the picture.

Sigh. On hold with the tranny move to Tucson. They have too much work. They will tell me when I can bring it up. :bsflag:

What size are the plenums on the heads?

Okay, pardon my unfamiliarity with diesel and nickname talk.

Is the attached the plenum? If so, 3"

Also, what people are calling a "spider" - is that the intake manifold?

Lastly - is the KC38r worth $1600?

My goal is reliability and longevity . . . .

Sbluke55 · Jan 13, 2020

Ok you have a L99 plenums. You should have an L99 turbo if they didn't get new heads.

this is the spider^^^

Yes the kc turbo is worth the money. Dont forget you will want a delete turbo pedestal also.

Thank you so much! :x I believe the heads are original.

Do you have a recommendation for the delete turbo pedestal?

Is this a good one?

The Premium kit has Garrett parts with the Alliant Power installation kit. The standard kit has FFD parts.

Is the Alliant Power installation kit worth the additional $80?

And is the Diamond Eye K4318S Turbo-Back Exhaust Kit a good one?

Sbluke55 · Jan 14, 2020

That one is ok but the kc turbo already has the high flow outlet. Just get a pedestal from kc when you get the turbo.

Diamond eye is ok. Fit is just ok. Look up jamo

Jax,

If you have too much money send some my way I'd be more than happy to help you spend it

Engine block, heads, crank, and cam dropped at Larry's Engine and Marine today. They will clean it up, check it out, and let me know . . . . ?

Drive shaft dropped at Precision Products Driveshaft for U-joints, carrier bearing and balancing. $330

1.5 hour drive one way. At least now, I feel like I am getting somewhere.

Hey Jax, on your heat shield, Ford might accidentally still offer that. Not sure.

The Home Depot stuff CJ suggested is a good option.

Hey @Dustybumpers what do you think, didn't you do one recently?

Remind me what we are talking about, I have a bunch of projects going on.....

Blue-Truck-Nut97 · Jan 15, 2020

Sorry, he's looking to re-do the heat shield on the firewall while the engine is out.

Ok. That is best done from inside. Take carpet out, use the foam lined with foil they use for duct work. Spray glue, and aluminum tape.
I have some pictures in my laptop of the last one I did if he's interested

Lol. Jake made a typo

Jax · Jan 16, 2020

New '08 diff cover arrived. New tow mirrors arrived. I will get some work done while waiting on the engine verdict.

Jax · Jan 17, 2020

Well, Darn it . . . I mounted my new mirrors . . . but dropped nuts inside the door. Off comes the door trim.

Speaker is blown. Dang it! But these are well recommended:

Your pics almost look like they are from the Queen Creek, Casa Grande, Coolidge AZ, area. I grew up in Chandler and it kinda reminded me of those places

Sierra Vista . . . we don't get as hot here.

We actually have a slow rain drifting through . . . No brilliantly blue skies until tomorrow.
