Hey guys, so I bought a 05 dodge 3500 about a week and a half ago from a dealership with 138k, I feel I got a good price on it and it's a very clean Laramie, well the day I took it home the right rear caliper seized and got the rotor glowing, so the next dy I took it in and they replaced both rear caliper pads and rotors free of charge, also I was getting smoke from under the hood so they replaced the blowby "filter". Three days later I got the truck back, drove it for two days and one morning when I woke up to start it it fired and ran very rough and was billowing clouds of white smoke, called the dealer an told then I wanted to take it to my local diesel shop, some friends of mine own it, they said it'd be for, turns out I have wasted rings in three cylinders and three bad injectors. I bought a really good extended warrenty that is supposed to cover a full engine rebuild basically and injectors and I'm keeping my fi gets crossed that they honor that, now what I'm wondering is since I will have the whole motor torn down or a rebuild are there and little tips that I Gould do while it's apart? I'm having arp studs Installed and 50hp Injectors but anything internal? I have built many gassrs and I've always liked to clean up castings in the heads or help out the oiling system, any known problems?

 

nope your good to 700hp at least! so no worries! I hope your warranty is good a rebuild will cost a good 6 grand. Put a 2 micron filter before the CP3 and a good air filter and exhaust AND don't forget the turbo and efi or smarty!
