12.7 series 60 chunk of metal on drain plug

did you say 11,000 thats 75% of overhaul price.here in nw indiana it's 13500 for O.HAUL w/o b/gear.that's 2600 extra. inland detriot gary in. local shop 13000 complete incl b/gear

 

Yea, to the OP - who the #### are you getting prices from?
You can overhaul an entire Detroit for around $11-14k. Including the bull gear.

$22k is an overhaul on a CAT.....



What about a crate motor?

 

I was in at the local Interstate Power (detroit diesel shop) up here.

$7500-9000 for a level 1,
$11-13K for a level 2,
$17-18K for a level 3
and $22-24K for a level 4 (crate motor)

holly crap...i can buy a whole new 12.7 from detroit in pittsburgh for 13000 with a 5 year warr if they install 3yr if i install

 

why not to fix geartraine only. it is old engine, some parts may be reused from JY. It would not be too expencive

 

Hi McDaniel,
These are pieces from your power steering pump drive.

We've just finished building '96 12.7. Yep, we reused many parts from JY but it was less $1000. I do not think all the gears must be replaced. Inspect all parts one by one and change worn parts only!

really no reason to push #11,000 to this engine. It is easier swap engine with used one
