    Even so, why would a dealer make you go back to stock before they overhaul it? The motor is at least 14 years old at this point and not under warranty. So the statement doesn’t make any sense.
    If the dealer was to rebuild it and give you a new warranty however, yes they will rebuild it to factory specs and not honor your warranty with those modifications if you put them on again afterwards

    Only Detroit diesel would warranty an old series 60.
    And only if it were out of framed at a Detroit remanufactering facility.

    That’s what I meant was they would rebuild it to factory stock.
    As for the turbo they will only honor a Detroit core and no aftermarket for the core.
    So if you have a borg or garret you will have to turn in a Detroit turbo or buy one flat out with out the core witch is almost same price as the rebuild turbo. Unless u get a good core from junk yard.
    Was told this yesterday at interstate in Gary ind.

    Garret turbos are what Detroit used for the series 60.

    It would be really really really cold in hell before I brought my truck to a dealer for an overhaul.

    I have never done but unless you have a good shop, the dealer warranties would be a good gamble
