So I started my stock 2006 quad cab with 67k miles after sitting for almost a year, warmed it up to temp check, oil pressure check, battery voltage check, rpm check, opened electric cutouts check, neighbor karen walks out check, closed cutouts, and backed out of carport unto main street check lol... drove around the block to next street over down the culdesac, made a U-turn to return home and right before the traffic light, 1st sound observed seemed like a broken spring? rod knock? piston slap? then............. loud metal clanking and engine stalled. Pool of coolant followed by pool of oil ;D Contacted towing then talked to Tony from JTSVP explaining the situation. AAA'd baby home for inspection and found the big hole displaying the guts inside cylinder #4
Looking for all suggestions on parts and proper route to take on re-awakening this beast! All help is greatly appreciated!
Rebuild time (engine only, transmission in the future)
Live in California and am not a big fan of their smog laws
Budget of about $15k to invest (assuming $3k-$5k on labor alone)
Fully forged (NA)
+80hp -90hp (100 max!)
Looking towards overall power, more in the torque-side end and not so much on horsepower
Pump gas friendly (will be daily driver once resurrected)
Thanks ya'll!
