That is a nice one, but I'm not sure I could take 8 inches.

Do you remember if it has a Sterling or stock rear end? When you replaced the engine, did you "bulletproof" it?

Stock rear axle. Pretty sure we deleted the EGR cooler but thats it.

Thanks!
This doesn't really have anything to do with this van specifically, but I'm curious what goes so wrong on a 6.0 w/99k miles to warrant what I imagine would be an extremely expensive factory replacement vs fixing what you got? I've had 3 6.0 liters, 2 with pretty good problems and 1 (currently have) that I dumped wads into in a preventative way, but nothing I could imagine would be more expensive than replacing.
I don't want to turn this into a 6.0 bash fest, I'm just curious about this particular case.

If I remember correctly it broke a rocker arm? Whatever happened, it destroyed a cylinder.
The last 6.0 we replaced had a turbo that came apart and they kept driving it, contaminated the oil so bad that it then went thru multiple HPOPs and nobody could get the metal out of it. So we replaced the whole thing, even the Amsoil dual filter system to make sure none of the old oil was there.
