I am trying to find for a 05 6.0 headgasket and stud kit. The 18mm dowells. But everywhere i call is backordered. Anyone have a line on some? I would really appreciate it so my friend will get his truck back and i can get my truck back before he tears it up some more.

try rollin smoke diesel .

Actually found some today. Thanks

Is the stud kit a upgrade? my 03 poped a gasket loosing water

The stud kit should be the same for all 6.0s the 18mm dowel ran through 06 or 07 but its just the dowel. the bolts/ studs are the same. then they go to 20mm dowels that are found in the later engines or with service oversize heads. I have hundreds of dowels 18mm 20mm and the step 18mm to 20mm when putting a new head on a older engine.

Studs are upgrade. I bought mine off of eBay ARP studs I think. Not sure if I have the name correct, but once I put them on, and did away with the eve while the engine was torn apart, I couldn't kill the 6.0.
I traded it for a 2011 6.7. No comparison, the 6.7 stock pulls better than the 6.0 chipped with propane. New truck is awesome
