What Makes a Heavy Hauler “Ready Run”
The Long Block (Foundation)
- Comprehensive teardown & inspection: crack-check, blast, clean; all threads chased.
- Precision machining: CNC bore & line-bore, surface as needed; torque-plate hone for ring seal.
- Blueprinted & balanced: oil clearances measured; rings file-fit; assembled in clean room.
- 9/16" ARP head studs torqued to 175 ft-lb for robust head sealing.
- D&J Stage 1 performance head: extra-large heavy-duty seats, thread-in soft plugs, 5-axis CNC ported, CNC valve job, pressure-checked.
- D&J HD 7/16" pushrods & tow-performance cast cam for durable torque delivery.
- Pre-lubed & painted (black) with break-in oil and filter included.
Air & Fuel (Matched, Calibrated)
- BD two-piece high-silicon ductile iron manifold (SEMA SC-BDD01-0078), pre-drilled for pyro, grade 10.9 hardware.
- BD Screamer turbo: 64.5 mm 7+7 billet compressor, 70 mm 12-blade turbine with ~15% lower MOI for quicker spool; actuator pre-programmed; VSR balanced; CARB EO D-553-32.
- BD high-pressure fuel system: reman CP3 with new metering unit; injectors and pump tested on Bosch 815 bench; includes BD OEM-fit fuel lines & quality gaskets.
Ancillaries Included (Fewer Trips to the Parts Store)
- Fluidampr harmonic balancer
- Turbo oil feed & drain tubes
- New water pump & thermostat
- Coolant temp sensor, oil pressure switch/sensor
- New Bosch fuel rail with pressure sensor & relief valve
- New high-pressure lines & injector feed tubes
- Dipstick & tube
Who It’s For
Heavy Tow & Work Trucks
If your livelihood depends on consistent EGT control, clamp-load retention, and no-surprises torque, the studded head, ported airflow, and quick-spool Screamer deliver repeatable grade performance.
Refresh with Headroom
Replacing a high-mileage 6.7L? Start with a blueprinted base that will comfortably support future upgrades to ~700 hp without revisiting the short block.
Year-Range Notes
- 2007–2012 package: Heavy Hauler long block + BD manifold + Screamer turbo + full HP fuel system + ancillaries.
- 2013–2018 package: Same complete spec with updated components to match later emissions & actuator strategies.
Both retain emissions equipment and are sold as replacement assemblies; Screamer turbo carries CARB EO D-553-32.
Install & First Start Checklist
- Pre-lube: Prime oil system; verify oil pressure during cranking with fuel disabled.
- Cooling system: Flush if contaminated; fill with fresh, correct-spec coolant; bleed air.
- Fuel system: Verify clean supply; prime to purge air; check for leaks at rails/lines.
- Sensors & learns: Confirm connectors; clear codes; perform idle relearn if applicable.
- Break-in oil: Follow included instructions; avoid extended idle; vary load for ring seating.
- Post-heat-cycle re-torque: Re-check accessible fasteners and inspect for any weeps.
FAQ
Do I need tuning?
Not required for installation. These packages prioritize OE-like drivability with stronger airflow and fueling. If you add power mods later, tune accordingly.
What transmissions pair best?
Healthy 68RFE/AS69RC with adequate cooling. If you tow heavy, consider BD upgrades (deep pans, pressure mods) or a BD built unit.
Is the turbo truly drop-in?
Yes — actuator is pre-programmed and units are VSR balanced for quick spool and reliability.
Always verify fitment and follow the supplied installation instructions and torque specs. Keep emissions systems intact and compliant.
