    A good Big Cam man can do it in about an hour and a half and take his time. You are paying for then knowing how to do it, their time.

    I would do it for much less, and I am sure there are some loggers who do their own work who would be glad to do it for $100.00 or so.

    Check some of the small garages with old timers working there, they could probably fix you right up.


    PS... I doubt there is anyone left at Cummins who has ever seen a Big Cam Cummins, unless some old guys are still around. What the book says, and how to do what the book says, are two totally different things.

    PSS..... Good looking truck at a good price.

    Buy the book and I'll come up and do it. Better to keep that money in your pocket by putting knowlegde in your mind. Valuable thing to know how to do yourself if your planning to keep the truck. You can buy me a steak at Outback LOL

    Google and search the forum,you'll probably get a days worth of reading.
    You'll need injector height tool.
    It's not hard,if you can find a shop that will let you watch,might be best for your first time. Start a thread in the garage section,you'll get plenty of info.
