Platform recipes (5)
- The classic emissions-legal 6.0 bulletproof at stock power, using OEM-style coolers
- The full emissions-legal bulletproof: upgraded (round-tube) EGR cooler + external/relocated oil cooler that removes the OEM clog point entirely, ARP head studs with new gaskets matched to dowel size, complete cooling refresh, FICM upgrade, and full high-pressure-oil system refresh
- A modest, streetable power bump (tune + supporting mods) done the right way - on a bulletproofed, studded bottom-of-the-cascade truck
- Preventive baseline for a stock, healthy 6.0 with no current failures
- For a stock-power 6.0 used to tow, with no full bulletproof budget yet
