I prefer CAT parts... you don't have to buy from your local vendor... better prices may be had elsewhere.Gulfstream said: ↑Thanks to all, I appreciate all the input.
I am going to go ahead and get the hood, bumper and radiator/condensor/intercooler out , and then get them both out together. A good friend has a wrecker service and owns an unreasonably expensive rotator truck, I would be guessing at the lifting capabilities, but I am pretty sure it is overkill for this particular application.
The previous owner said it had a whine in the tranny and at 1,000,000 miles I plan on having it gone thru anyway, or possibly going thru it myself
, also at that point a clutch is almost a given. I want to be able to drive myself from Florida to Washington steady, with total piece of mind.
I am not sure whether or not I should start a new thread for this , but, does anyone have any experience with IDP's engine kits or Republic Diesel? http://www.republicdiesel.com/
I like Cat Parts but the local Cat dealer here has no empathy for the little guy and has no problem charging full retail, and then some for everything.Click to expand...

Yes, I am not going thru all this to skimp on parts. The IDP stuff looks to me to be good stuff. I have also been looking thru places like http:www.heavytruckparts.net for a few things. My guess is I will be sitting at a Cat parts counter for few things like injectors,seals and a few sensors.
