Too many miles for head studs?
How many miles is too many to put head studs on my engine without pulling the head? My truck is an 04 and has 316,000 miles on it

The only reason to install headstuds on a CR Cummins if because you have added a ton of power (fuel and boost).
Adding a ton of power on a 316, 000 miles Cummins is risky IMO.
However, if your headgasket is not leaking, compression or coolant, you likely would have no issue installing one head stud at a time like many of us have over the years.

Why are you wanting to add studs?
