    I think I may have them just inframe it, or swap it for one of their remans at 700K. Wrench says to keep this engine.

    So gonna see what costs what. I have a spare truck now if I wanna run while it's being done.

    I was just thinking the same. Quit F’ing around and just take it to a factory Cummins shop. Thankfully my local one is top notch.

    Taking it to a Cummins shop ain't no guarantee you're going to get what you pay for. Good luck.

    Kenny Taylor over on Northern & 83rd ave has a very good rep.
    He has rebuilt my DT466 and also did a complete engine gasket kit for my C10.

    While true, you still have people higher up the food chain to help make things right if the shop screws the pooch. Having a nationwide dealer warranty is a bonus.

    I have a 12 386 pete and mine was leaking like that the front housing was crack a couple injectors, rocker arms etc make a long story short it costed me 16000$ the get it all fixed. If i did it under warranty i could have missed that bullet but the warranty had expired and i had to eat that bill.

    Found the leak. Apparently when the rocker bridge broke off it got caught by the cam and pushed into the side of the head causing a crack. 20191203_111345.jpg
