Don’t know since the truck is still in Maryland. Next time I talk with Berend I’ll see if he has the engine serial#. Really not enjoying having to wait to get the truck:(
Yes planning to pick up a few things, like a 3/4 breaker bar, on that end. Fortunately I'll either have my kid along with me or a buddy, so I can split tools across multiple airline tickets. Bought a full set of U-joints but will only take one or two with me. Also bought the tool to press out...
Hello All;
First let me apologize for being yet another newbie asking a crap load of questions. I do, however, promise you I have the capacity to maintain and build the truck into the expedition vehicle I have planned and while it will take a while, I will be able to give back to the forum.

So, I committed to buying the truck yesterday so I’ve reached out to Mike to order the hubs. I am a little concerned about the tires for the trip home though. One of the tires is a 2017 date code, so not worried about it, but the other three appear to be the original tires with 2008 date codes...
I’m reluctant to ask this here, but from what searching I’ve done, it seems this thread has the most info about running the 370hp tune on a C7. Earlier in this thread it was said the only difference in the C7’s delivered with the 370hp tune is the water cooled turbo. Talking with the guy I’m...
