Looks like some Tom Foolery to me.

I just sold the old girl about an hour ago.

Hey, who knows what these sites dig up for sponsors? Probably legit, but I don't see how "Colon Blow" relates to a truck forum.

(Of course there *are* some people who are full of shi... around here.)

Well the damn kid lied to me. This engine came from the Texas facility and was reman'd there. He confused the Ontario made EB one with my engine paperwork.. Note the line where it says "majority content made in USA"

I'm not following, AK. Would you mind elaborating/educating?

Keep it of course. I'm actually happier that it comes from the reman plant in Texas than Ontario. We used to have an occasional defect from there, so I was a bit skeptical but was going to go with the flow. I have heard good things from the Texas plant, so I am happy. Crossing my fingers. LOL

He is there right now. I gave them 10 days to do it for the price he's charging. Damn that shop is busy.

My header gaskets will be here tomorrow too, so that is the final piece of my puzzle, lol. I hope at least.
I didn't like the shape of the gaskets that the headers had. They weren't in the best of shape, even know they are new.





too much moving around his house sort of bent the crap out of them.

i like how nice the welds are done and overall quality. I went with carbon exhaust header gaskets.
