Hey Guys,
New member here (Dave), long time lurker. I've looked up a lot of stuff on here and I appreciate the wealth of knowledge.
I bought a 2012 6.0L this last February from a local auction. It had a collapsed lifter when I bought it and has been sitting since. I bought all the stuff for a DOD delete months ago and it's been on hold up until recently. I had another project (1967 Buick GS400) in queue before I could get to this one. Everything was pretty straight forward on the delete. The two major (annoying) things I ran into was putting the friggin dipstick back in, and unbolting the PCM (so I could send it out to have the DOD turned off) bracket. Other than that it was a good experience. Everything came apart easily and the inside of the engine looked great for how many miles and hours are on it (156k/8000+hrs).
Still need to install the rear end and have a full tune done. I picked up a 3.27 posi unit from a 46k mile Camaro SS...got it off of craigslist for $280.
Anyhow, looking forward to ripping around in this thing. Should be fun when it's all done.
Dave
