Assuming the two large pipes are the intercooler pipes and they go to the intercooler mounted in the front, the picture is taken from the bottom.- Redtruck-VA

2005 Engine swap 6.4 into a 5.7 Best reman shop or factory option
Keeping it easy swaps require using a reluctor wheel the same as your current pcm. Gen 3 is 58 tooth. The good news is most if not all stroker kits can be bought with a 58 tooth reluctor. IMO, a 5.7 block with a stroker kit will give you around 6.4 displacement. Put heads, cam and bolt-on's will...- Redtruck-VA

The cost of going fast? (397 build price list)
I don't go to the track often and this last year none at all. So my data is dated.. last full pass was a 11.66 and if I remember 118mph. I up the boost and and made a partial pass and ran 1.358 60'.. blew the charge pipe. Red is a street truck and doesn't have a cage so tech always watching...- Redtruck-VA

Tuners for 06 1500 5.7l SLT 4x4
HP Tuning imo is the only way to go. When custom tuning is wanted this is the way to go. I used Diablo CMR tuning and wanted flexability of fine tuning changes as I needed. The HPT downloaded the previous CMR tune making the new tune easy to work off of.- Redtruck-VA

Oil gage reads low
3rd gen oil pressure gauge is a idiot light that looks like a pressure gauge. If the engine has minimal oil pressure the gauge will read mid range to make the operator feel good. Look it up, but I seem to remember 6psi was the cut off were it would cause the gauge to read low and give an alert...- Redtruck-VA

RPM's hang indefinitely between shifts
That's funny I use to use the power steering switch to up my idle on the 03 pcm. I used a rpm window switch to open and close the PS switch. Back in the day big cams and 03 pcm was a bad combo. I also remember a guy did a manual trans swap and had a hanging idle. I believe he fixed it with a pcm...- Redtruck-VA

Gently weeping...bent rods AGAIN
The cam bearings prevented the cam shaft from rotating. This sheared the cam's alignment pin. Causing the valve timing to nolonger be correct allowing the valves to contact the pistons preventing them from opening fully bending the push rods. Hopefully the bent push rods prevented the valves...- Redtruck-VA

Gently weeping...bent rods AGAIN
The short story is the cam bearings need to be replaced. This requires engine removal. Most likely new cam and timing chain set. Since the engine hasn't had proper maintenance the crank and connecting rod bearings also require inspecting. You are so deep into the engine a rebuild makes the most...- Redtruck-VA

Your nasty oil burnt the cam bearings (rear) welding it to it's bearing and broke the cam alignment pin allowing the cam to be out of time.- Redtruck-VA
