Yes. 6 weeks to build. Reman was 28k, but my 91 DDEC II core was no good to them. I inquired about new, and they said they could build me one.

What company did you call to order the DD60 new engine? Are they offering you a warranty?

Driven and owned few of both engines and both are amazing. The c12s are decent on fuel and parts are not that bad compared to the big blocks. I'd stick with the cat and maybe upgrade to a 13 speed down the line.

Yeah, it's a pretty simple engine to work on. But I am hoping they can upgrade/modernize the heat function. Currently, to turn the heat on or off, you have to raise the hood, go to passenger side of the engine and manually turn two valves. The problem is, you can't stop the heat. I turned it on because I was in a colder area and had to roll down the windows because I was pouring sweat! Roasting!

I know this is an old post but you can get motorized ball valves and control those with a switch from inside the cab.
