    The walls seem good, i havent measured them yet. But i know i can get the head reworked, the only thing of concern isbwhere the valve goes through the head. They said they can press in new seats. But yes i love the 6.2 its a bad ass motor.

    Now when you say it will lay frame on axle, you mean it needs to be notched in the rear to lay the frame on the ground?

    Light tick from passenger side?

    With 20k it should still have factory warranty, bring it in. But sounds like a cv, parts can go bad with 1000miles on them. And just because the boots are good doesnt mean the inners or good. Maybe when the cv where being built the assembler forgot to put grease in. Mistakes happen.
