Like a couple time a month I am at GCVW of 32-34,000lbs moving a friends skytrax on a 35' dual tandem, Its typically never more than 15 to 20 miles and never over 50mph.

My daily trailer is about 8500lbs, and twice a week I tow around 15,000lbs. I average 30,000 miles a year towing those two trailers, so i figure I should just stick with 155/30's or maybe 50%'s?
yea the guy thats got my spare heads right now for flux and machining is doing 155/30's since he tows all the time. it sounds like you have a good setup but id skip the airdog. stop pump will be good for the 155's and if not id go with the aeromotive a1000

EGR Delete $200
ARP's $450
Gaskets $250
Coolant Flush to ELC and Coolant Filter - $300ish
thats doing all the work yourself but yea they have a list now of what you need and what you need to watch for

maintenance is KEY. theres a good thread on the org about how many 6.0s are still running around on TTY bolts and running tunes.

And no engine sounds better then a straight piped 6.0!!!! IMO that is.
The main issues were there was no service manual when the first 03/04 truck rolled in with egr etc related issues. BUT the 6.0 is ALOT easier to make power with. over 400hp with a tune and egr delete

Love the whistle and then the romp at WOT

Glad they passed for ya, I had a set off an engine I bought for cores, I was hoping to do the same thing...get them checked, and ready so I didnt have down time when I do mine....but they were both cracked! So now its back to down time and just have to have mine checked when I take them off!

yea me too. i think i might sell the ones off my truck and give the buyer option to have them machined first that way its not a gamble.

i didnt want to have the down time so im getting every thing up front
