Rebuilt heads carry the fatigue of the engine they came off, and on a 14.0L EGR engine that history is what fails first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDeck machined flat, seats cut, casting pressure tested.\u003c\/strong\u003e The deck surface is machined to a flat plane so the head gasket seals against combustion pressure, the valve seats are cut to the factory angle and every casting is pressure checked for porosity before anything is assembled into it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt for the EGR engine, not the pre-EGR one.\u003c\/strong\u003e The DDEC VI version of the Series 60 runs cooled exhaust gas back through the intake and adds a DPF, which raises the heat the head has to reject compared with the earlier non-EGR engines. The coolant passages and the injector bores on this casting are the DDEC VI pattern, which is why the earlier heads will not substitute.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembled with the injector cups in place.\u003c\/strong\u003e Valves, springs, retainers, locks and stem seals are installed and the injector cups are fitted and sealed, so the only thing to transfer from your old head is the injectors themselves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConfiguration\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eInline 6, 24 valves (4 per cylinder), overhead camshaft, one-piece head\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eComponents\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eIntake and exhaust valves, springs, retainers, locks, stem seals, injector cups\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eNew\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Engine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e1\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWarranty\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e12 months\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplacement\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e14.0L (854 cu in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBore x Stroke\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e5.24 x 6.62 in\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFuel System\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDDEC VI electronic unit injectors\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping \u0026amp; Warranty\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFree shipping\u003c\/strong\u003e within the continental USA.

First, the casting number raised on the side of your original head should be 23534743 or 23534745. Second, your engine is the 14.0L with DDEC VI electronics - the 2007 and later EPA07 version with EGR and a DPF. Third, your truck falls in the year range in the fitment table. If any of those do not line up, send us the engine serial number and we will check it against the parts catalogue before you order.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What is the difference between 23538857 and the older 23534748 or 23538858 heads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e23538857 is the DDEC VI casting for the 2007-2009 14.0L engine. 23534748 and 23538858 belong to the 2001-2006 generation that ran DDEC IV and DDEC V electronics, which is a different casting with different coolant passages and injector bores. They are the same displacement but not interchangeable, which is why those numbers are listed as does-not-fit above rather than as replacements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is the 2006 model year covered?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost 2006 trucks carry the DDEC V engine and take the earlier head. A small number of late 2006 builds were already DDEC VI, so send us your engine serial number if your truck is a 2006 and we will confirm which one you have.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: How is it packed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe head is bolted to a wooden pallet base and shipped in a wooden crate so the deck face and the valvetrain are protected in transit. Multiple heads ship on a single pallet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What do I need to do before installing it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTransfer your injectors into the new head, use new head bolts, and torque them in the sequence in the service manual for your engine serial number rather than a single figure - the Series 60 uses a torque-plus-angle procedure. Check valve lash after the head is down and refill with the correct coolant.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: What does the warranty cover?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12 months against manufacturing defects - cracks, porosity and valve seat problems.
