    You can take it to Detroit Diesel they would be cheaper then Pittsburgh Power. But you don't get all the stuff Pittsburgh Power can do. Detroit will give you a 300,000 mile warranty if engine dont have over 1,000,000 miles on the block.

    Can you please show me where I can find that in writing?
    Detroit Diesel did my 14 liter with 923,000 and they said 1 year warranty period.
    No extended warranties available.

    Maybe they changed the rules but I found this. Engine can't have 1,000,000 or Ten years old now. I think the 10 year old limit is new. You have get the SetUp level 3 or 4 rebuild. Hard to believe it's been 17 year since they stopped making S60. That's probably were they get you now

    $22,000 for a Long Block from Freightliner was my quote.

    Pretty sure that was no new turbo or injectors.

    I would price out different orig Detroit O H kits starting at Detroit shops and Dealers decide what you need and look for Mechanics. There’s a Big shop in Indiana TTS ? maybe used to advertise 13 k -16 k w/ rebuilt trans
