Why are you afraid to send it out if its done right. I have trucks brought in from several hours away weekly. Heck I even have a customer that hot shots all over the 14 states around his indiana base, He picks trucks up and brings them back all the time for me

just make sure you go to a good shop...sometimes driving the extra distance is worth it. We are prolly way to far for you but search around...I dont know if any sponsor shops are in that area....

Peoria isn't 5 hours from St Louis, and it would definitely be worth having them do it!

rb69 who are you and how long ago did you have your truck worked on ?
IM a tech at rcd been there 6 mon now and do all the 6.0 head stud jobs . we have people from all over bring trucks to us even had a guy from canada trailer his down for exhaust egr del and oil cooler.
i was even talking to the boss today about doing a cheep ass package as iv read about the 2 grand head core .. so that package would just be a gasket and stud job with no kind of guarantee..

I know this is an old thread but what was the outcome of this? I am about to go down the same road and looking for a local shop. Supposedly this 6.0 has the egr delete and studs already but they used black onyx gaskets and it seems they have failed.
Thanks
Tim
