Thanks!

No offence intended, but I think it's called a Pintle Hook. Anyway, back on to topic for updates.

I have it running alot better, but I still have to dial in the A/F. The weather hasn't been to great to drive it. Trust me as soon as I can get to the dyno I will.
I do tow with the truck alot probably once a week, the most weight wise I have towed with it is 9K lbs. Gotta love the tt3000 and 4.56 gears. I have been rearended in the truck twice since I bought it and the pintle hook saved me from any damage both times. Once was a brand new ram I fucked his front bumper up!!

Yep! I broke it. One of the pistons or the rods let go. I don't know what broke first. I bought the pistons and rods from a member of another forum and I didn't really like the way they looked but I went against my better judgement and installed them.
So I bought a Lunati stroker kit, I have all the new parts here and I should have the block back this weekend.
So now it's a 408 with 11.6:1 compression and everything else is the same. Oh and now I'm not afraid of blowing it up with the juice.

I never got any numbers with the 6.0 but it ran strong. I was really hapy with it. If I didn't get such a good deal on the stoker kit it would still be a 6.0
The 408 runs so strong my tranny only lasted 500 miles.
