6.5 cyl head venders

[llong66]

I am going to have to replace the heads on my 6.5, one is cracked and I was told the other shows signs of over heating. I have found the following venders and was wondering if anyone could give me feed back on any of them.

surplus-gm-diesel-engines.com $550/ea

.kingcylinderheads.com $550/ea, come with head gaskets

grainfarmer.com $479/ea

All of the above are being sold as NEW, not reman and the last one I listed says they pressure test theirs too.

ssdieselsupply gets them thru alabama cylinder head and a pretty good price i think... im not sure if goin right to alabama cylinder head would b cheaper since im sure they get a wholesale price and u wont but they have a warrenty on there parts 4 1 yr and recomend them

Just don't get them from Cylinder Heads International (see my other thread).
I wouldn't get the ones that come with head gaskets, cause they'll probably give you crappy ones. Get your own Felpro's (or better).

I paid $320 for the pair of mine, I bought bare castings though as my old valves where usable and I have the machine to resurface them.
