Anyone can tell me where to get a budget friendly aftermarket rods, and pistons for a (Stock Bore) 6.0. I see alot of 0.30 over pistons, I was hoping for a set of stock bore.

I used this, but .030 and they are holding up great.

what year motor do you have? is it an lq9 or lq4? My engine was an 04 and the piston pins fit my stock rods just fine as floating pins.
Im not 100% sure but the pistons I used have a .0943 bore which is the floating pin, some of the other replacements show .0945 which would be for the press fit pins. I also
chart below is for a 2002 lq9/lq4 the lq4 would have a press fit rod and the lq9 has the floating pin.

Let me try asking this way. I can get rods with .927 pins,, what are some budget friendly pistons that will work. Will the 2003 piston pins will float on a .944 pin?

I pm'd some one on here about the DNJ pistons. They said they worked just fine but I had already ordered the sealed power pistons from summit. It was $350ish shipped 8 pistons and rings. I think the only issue you might have is balancing. My machine shop said they thought they would have been balanced better coming as one set of 8. He did removed a decent amount of aluminum from some, I think he said there was 8 grams weight from lightest to heaviest. Oh and summit beat everyones price by about $20 per piston.
