The DFC Diesel TH6604505LLYSOALB Tow/Haul Series Long Block is engineered for the 2004.5-2005 6.6L Duramax LLY platform and is rated for up to 500 horsepower at the flywheel. This long block includes all the Street Series enhancements plus key towing-specific upgrades that make it ideal for trucks used in high-demand environments. The block is professionally machined to tight tolerances, fitted with Mahle Motorsports heavy-duty pistons, and assembled with Total Seal gapless piston rings for maximum compression and oil control. A Stage 2 camshaft increases mid-range torque, while Manton HD pushrods and heavy-duty valve springs reinforce valvetrain stability at higher loads. DFC also includes added dowel pins in the crankshaft for better alignment of the harmonic balancer and trigger gear assembly, helping maintain long-term crank stability. ARP or OptiTorque head studs are included depending on availability, offering enhanced clamping force to prevent head lift under boost. Every engine comes with a full top-end gasket kit and pre-set valvetrain components, making install efficient and precise. This long block is ideal for serious diesel owners who demand performance without sacrificing reliability.
