Anybody have any insight on a good shop to stud the heads of my diesel or any idea of the cost associated with such a project.
Thanks

My neighbor just popped a HG on his 6.0 Excursion. He was quoted $10k to basically bulletproof it.

A friend of mine does these all day long at the shop he works at, Reliable Automotive in Antioch/Oakley. They do fleet work and have established a pretty good name for themselves in the short time they've been open. Its worth getting a quote IMO.

10k plus for me to have it bullet proof for my use would be a waist of money. I have not tuner or modifications other than a 4" straight pipe exhaust. All I use it for is a daily driver and occasional towing of my el camino or a dump run here and there. Just looking to get rid of the junk TTY bolts for piece of mind.

It's a 40 hour plus job to do head studs.

I would hope so since vic has been a ford service writer for 20 plus years before left to go out on his own.

Diesel will break your wallet when the need repairs doesn't matter who makes them.
