    My M11 inframe kit is costing PAI brand $2750.00au , Cummins Brand $3700.00, so US should be around $2200.00 and $3000.00. sounds like the kit price is pretty high, I would be shopping around to get a better price. my quotes were from $5000.00 down to $3700 for Cummins and $3900.00 down to $2400.00 for non Cummins.

    Josh was right. Two inframe options but both were added at the bottom. I got a quote for my former Freightliner a couple weeks ago and it was about $13,000. That was the dealer quote though.

    Here's an update. Looked over the mickey mouse "invoice" sent via email. The dude that came out charged me 3hrs labor for only doing 1hr of work. Some things are not right what he said he did. I found out he lied to me on the white/blue smoke, none. air box gaskets where ok, none.. And on. I stood there and watched him. This is just some of the problems with this "invoice". So I tried to bring this to the attention the accountant lady on the phone the other day. In the end she got pissed off at me, threaten to place a lien on my truck. I told her there was no work order signed or performed. I wanted a detailed "invoice" and the guy ( over 2hrs late ) just looked at it and she then hung up on me... Go figure... Now I know why he didn't want to "invoice" me on site. And.... I took the truck to another mechanic and within 15min he found the problem. Told me how to correct it and didn't charge me a dam dime. Guess who has all my work now.... Now that's customer service..
