I sold this guy some diesel parts almost a year ago and now he has a problem. Here is the link to his Craig's List ad. I called him and he's in the same situation that I was a few months ago, and you guys all brought hope back to me. http://bend.craigslist.org/cto/944166189.html

I called him tonight and he remembered me. He can't find a good set of heads for a 7.3 so that he can get the truck going again. By the way he talked, he doesn't want to sell the truck, but can't keep dumping money out to have heads checked. Does anyone have a good set of 7.3 heads that will fit. I have a good set of 6.9 heads, but punkmechanic is getting the motor from me and they wouldn't work on his truck anyways. I told him that I'd look around to see what I could find and post his problem on here to see if any help was available. Thanks in advance!

I realize that I made my post on this a little vague... He's not looking for a free set of heads or anything like that. Can anyone recommend a good place to get a good set of heads for a decent price? I guess he bought a set from someone that claimed they were good, and found out later that they were bad. He had one head rebuilt, but the machine shop found a crack in the other. I think he's just discouraged about it a little bit. He said that he has a new head gasket set (was going to use it with the rebuilt heads) so I'm going to try to get those motors this week sometime and try to make him a good deal for the 7.3 that needs head gaskets. What's the best way to check the heads on it to make sure that they're still good? I'll see what else I can find out.

A few members bought them brand new for $300 each I think. Can't remember the company but Joe (PAfixitman) must know I think He had a set.
