I'm betting blown head gaskets, you can push the 6.4's further than you can the 6.0's and 7.3's but if you put to hot a tune in them they will eat head gaskets. And judging by the larger tires on the truck I bet it get's hammered on pretty often to get it moving.

Most diesel shops don't use them if it's for one or two dyno pulls but if you are doing a dyno tuning session they should be using them. If that was a dyno day they wouldn't want to use them just to save time trying to get the trucks on and off the dyno as quickly as possible. You dyno 30 trucks and waste 6 minutes a truck setting up and tearing down cooling fans that's 180 minutes of wasted dyno time.

I don't understand that question. When he's serious, he's sarcastic. When he's sarcastic, he's serious.
