    Like the rest of the guys said, i would park it. Wasn't the 6.0 used? No need to break in. Nor does a roller cam.

    Hope you get this all solved.

    just to get this correct... obviously seems to be when they installed the cam, it must have been way to advanced( like a tooth off)..cause the truck when you turn it on, it is still missing...and 2 cylinders are not firing properly..when u put the truck in drive and barely tap the gas it cladders (not pinging) just as when the cam timing is not correct...when u come to a stop the truck sounds hurt...like when a pushrod is bent or something similar...definitly the engine is not working properly nor the cam is installed correctly on it..

    just for the record i did not do the motor nor cam swap on it myself...it was someone else..i have tried to tune it 2 times gteran has came to my shop but no success due to engine not working properly..

    let me know when they fix it, if not I can fix it for u gTeran..

    I would not have taken it back to the other mechanic AT ALL. I'd a said Flaco mayne when can I pick it up and how much is it gonna cost. Guestimates of course. Even I can put a cam in and get the timing right.

    Question on your pushrods, was the cam designed to be used with stock length pushrods? If it wasn't then that's a problem right there but either way get hardened pushrods in there, the stock ones are weak.
