Reply:With reels, do you have to unwind it all when you're welding? I thought they would heat up or cause an electrical field which messes with the arc."Where's Stick man????????" - 7A749"SHHHHHH!! I sent him over to snag that MIC-4 while tbone wasn't looking!" - duaneb55"I have bought a few of Tbone's things unlike Stick-Man who helps himself" - TozziWelding"Stick-man"
Reply:as soon as the warranty goes out be sure to have ARP headstuds put in and gut the egr valve and system....every work truck ive ever had that was a 6.0 had the exact same problem somewhere around 100K-150K: egr problems and blown headgasketsmy previous boss drove his truck with a busted EGR valve and ended up blowing the headgasket - then warped the heads and ended up paying 10K for a new motor. the engine's warranty went out a week before the motor blew up...
