1998 3500 Ram with a 5.9. Chris rebuilt the engine. Although this one came in running. The head was warped over .012 block was also out .004 . We were able to save the pistons, connecting rods & crank. Everything else was replaced. Reusing the original vp44 but replacing all the injectors & tubes. Deleting the infamous heat exchanger for the trans fluid & installed a 6.0 over sized cooler! Vid of Hamilton can break in. One more valve adjustment and she’s ready for the break in progress.
