You say you're not keeping this truck forever,. My question is, how much longer until you have to do the short block?
Doing a new head now and the bottom end 1-2 years down the road gets you an engine that could go another million miles.You might want to rethink keeping the truck.
The devil you know vs. the one you don't, that being the next truck.

the head was put on in 2014 and it looks like it has the updated pistons it has no blow by and uses no oil so by rebuilding the head ,new turbo,new injectors and rod and main bearings it should last for a while at that point i will need to make a decision on re powering or re placing the truck
