DETROIT INFRAME COST??

If I recall it cost me like 225.00 per hole. And no block doesn't have to come out of truck. if you have to do more than 1 due all 6. In the long run it will be better and save money to do it right the first time.

 

The counterbore tool is around 1100, so if you trust yourself to do it better off buying the tool.

I think that inflatable tool was around 500 for what I have seen of them.

 

I'm considering going this route due to horror stories of inframe going wrong. Have you priced a reman yet?

 

Most backyard builders push them out from the bottom with a 2by4and a floor jack.

I think remanufactured are about 17000

 

If that's true then this is a no brainer. I'm sure my high mileage but excellent running engine could be sold for at least 5k to offset that cost?

 

You need to give them your engine as a core or they will charge you an extra $6000 .

But I still say this is the way to go if you have a high mileage engine and plan on keeping the truck for another million.
Less hassle in the long run and new everything. Fast and quick turn around.
3 year 300,000 nation wide Warrenty is hard to beat also.

 

Ok so buy a junk engine to give them as a core then sell mine on Craigslist. Got it
