Truck is in the shop with blown #4 exhaust valves due to crappy valve seats. So, instead of just rebuilding with like faulty parts, many have suggested to go ahead and use the updated/improved "600+" series head. My question is this:

I need to know if this is a direct strait forward, no nonsense bolt-in or will there be unseen problems with the install???

hhmmm I'd really like to know the answer to this question too!

John you might give TiminVA a call. I know he put an 06 head on his early 04 truck without any issues. IIRC, it is a direct bolt on.

Yep it will work. I just put a new updated head on my 03.
I couldn't even get an 03 head from Cummins.

PM me your cost and Cummins part# if you can, please. I've called a few shops and they all need the serial or part# to quote a price on a loaded head.

Yeah it will work no problem.

Thanks for all the help guys. Looks like I may be able to avoid a shipping/core charge from a rebuilder, if the local shop's prices are decent on a brand new head.

I paided $1795 for a complete new head from Cummins. (not a reman).
