Default 6.0 Engine- Stock pistons question
Does anyone know if the stock pistons in a 1999 chevy silverado 2500 6.0 liiter 364 cid are cast or forged? I am wanting to put a turbo on it but dont want to melt my cast pistons (if in fast they are cast). Please help!

In the middle, hypertetic, as junk as cast but the weight of forged
