    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    Well thanks for all that. I was always told they were dry liner engines. Never had to open one up yet.

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    The 8.3l is a dry liner motor. Nothing there to get a hole in it and leak.

    5 ton 12v 5.9 repower?

    The 8.3l is just a 5.9 on steroids. You can drop one of those in ( and probably get one for $1500) and you won't have to worry about a liner ever again. Plus, they share many parts with the 5.9. Easy to maintain and find parts for. And then you don't need to change the transmission out either.
