    Just curious how many hours that was?
    Would never get an inframe done for that price out here.

    Million dollar question. Like I said mine was one of 3 he has done already in 2012. Mileage doesn't seem to matter, HP rating doesn't matter, usage doesn't matter.

    Billed as 40.

    I know this is an old thread but I always wonder about other driveline things like the axles or transmission, wheel bearings and such. How long of a life can you expect out of those?

    With proper maintenance, transmissions and diffs only break when they are misused. Wheel bearings could last 2 million miles if properly set and lubricated. Too many variables. But with a good driver and maintenance, you should be able to flirt with 10 years no problem.

    I got the Platinum on mine, 24 000 and change out the door but now I have a 4 year UNLIMITED mile warranty...of which I have 2.5 left, it was done in march 2012, could have got it done cheaper but I sure like the peace of mind knowing I can pull in any CAT authorized dealer and its under warranty

    I have put 3 new head gaskets on my C15 in last 18 months
    First shop didn't put grommets in water passages. Gasket leaked at 2-3 months. Replaced gasket after running it 5-6 months
    Second shop put grommets in, gasket leaked at 5 months, run it one year
    Replaced gasket in April for third time after having planing head. Head gasket started leaking after couple weeks
    Shop now suggested planing top of engine block
    What you all suggest?

    Sounds like different or too low of liner protrusion. You may need some machining done. I would try to find a shop that does this on a regular basis, not just any shop that has done it twice in the last 8 years.
