    I'm looking to rebuild my Cat C15 Acert. Has anyone had their engine rebuilt by Milton in New York?.

    If there is a previous thread on Cat rebuilds in NY, Please redirect me.

    Thank you.

    Which location....? (I've been to 7 of them at one time or another) Never had a rebuild , but have had plenty of work done by them.....

    They are very pricey....... And watch them very closely !


    However if you go with the platinum kit the warrantee gives some piece of mind....

    Thank you for the replying. ...Actually any other CAT dealer would work fine with me from New Jersey to Albany NY. I'm not hung up on using Milton. I hope to find a certified dealer that will do the right job.

    I've heard really good reviews from King of the Hill diesel shop around Albany. I've never been, as I don't have yellow. But I bet I could stir up a phone # for you in a hr when a buddy is done trucking for the day..pm me if you'd want it

    a BETTER CHOICE IS TO HAVE YOUR ENGINE PULLED AND SHIP/ EXCHANGE IT FOR A REBUILT/ REMACHINED ACERT FROM AZ, CHECK TRUCK PAPER

    used to be called grenade engines after being in-chassied, they really need to be re-machined for max reliability
