Ok John, Matt rates all truck mods in how many beers it takes.
Example: Tranny cooler install (no stock tranny cooler starting from scratch)= 2 beer job.
So judging by your info given. Rod bolt install on stand= 4 beer job?

Are you guy's revving your motor at 6800rpm+ ? There is absolutely no need for ARP or similar rod bolt's till then unless you make some good power like 500+ to the tires and even then the piston/rod combo should be changed.
Just wondering because I would hate to see everyone think they need this upgrade for lower revving/hp trucks.

yes, a lot of us make over 500hp. no, not all of us rev past 6800 rpm. however, i'll take as much strength that i can get. if a piston blows or rod then so be it.
