    Platinum does not include a new cam or turbo(s). It's an inframe. It does include a new (reman head, new(reman) injectors,and a brand new water pump. Gold inframe does not have new injectors or water pump. Silver doesn't have those or a new head. None include a new crankshaft damper which ought to be replaced but not with CAT OEM made in China. Real easy to go well over $20k with a CAT inframe they'll be happy to finance they're no different than Ford, GM, or Chrysler and have a financial division that makes lots of money extending credit. It's best to talk with a CAT dealer to get specifics on that and various inframe options.

    dont have a cat this time....but my cummins took a healthy crap last june in n.c. . made the mistake of going to richmond va.cummins dealer off of i-95.man what a fricken nightmare.i know you can get a in frame in / out in 3days in indiana @ power diesel,for 13,000.00 w/new head.these jerks raped me for 12,500.00 only 1 new cylinder pack,head,rod & mains,1 injector..the wort was they had my truck in the shop for 14 days.
    not only did i get screwed on the repair job,they cost me a 6000.00 load that i was under and to give to another driver as well as a whole week of lost work.

    Don't know if it applies here, but when I put a reman in my 2000 Freightliner 4 years ago, it was $23 K out the door. I took a home equity loan out to do it. Best move I ever made in 35 years of trucking.
