@whitefaceford: Do You Know the Difference Between Long and Short Block? A short block is the engine’s foundation block, crank, rods, and pistons without the cylinder heads. A long block includes the heads and valve train already installed. The difference affects cost and labor, so knowing which one your truck needs matters. #FordMaintenance #DieselTrucks #SuperDuty
I’ve seen some new heads, and blocks, that were subpar. What’s the risk differential of long block vs short block plus new heads?

You say accessory like it’s an option that’s not necessary. So you’re saying I can remove my serpentine belt, my water pump, power steering pump, etc and my car will still drive? I don’t think thats how it works.

If the customer brings in a truck under warranty with a blown engine and wants to buy upgraded aftermarket lifters, etc. is the dealer allowed to put them in without voiding warranty on a short block?
