Here’s the breakdown of my recent OH. Only thing missing from a DD 3 yr. 300k warrantied OH is rebuilt rocker assemblies. I may do it yet, cost is $2000 for parts. Mine was good.My Last Truck had the 3 yr OH at Freightliner for $23k. in 2008. It include the rockers, I paid extra for new oil pump and jake rebuild kits. Later found out they didn’t change the camshaft bearings. What a waste of money. I’m very confident in this build. The counterbores were cut by an engineer at the Detroit factory, here in town, with 20 yrs experience cutting blocks. I watched the process. The Guy is sharp as a whip. 7 yrs experience at DD dealership, before college, then a few yrs with Roush, now 8 yrs at Detroit. He works on the emissions systems, testing and suggesting software upgrades. Says they finally got most bugs worked out in 2017. He even gave me a $400 friends and family discount. Unlike many claim, all cylinder protrusions being set at max .05 above the deck. He said no, ( the spec is .01-.05, with no more than .02 difference between adjoining cylinders) he set them all at .04” above the deck. The closer they are, the less chance of a blown head gasket. My last Truck blew a gasket at just over 500k. Just out of warranty. Warped the head. It happens. DD Rep bought the parts,$1800 at the time. I paid $1700 Labor. I had to make a lot of noise, told them I was going to dish DD on the CB everyday up and down I-94 from Detroit to Chicago. Lol.
