For future reference with the oil cooler is that something I should replace at like 250k or something? I never want this problem ever again.

Also I read my quote from cummins wrong.
Haven't had much sleep the past few days lol.
Short block - 19k
Long block - 29k
Recon engine -39k
Also the long block comes with way more parts than I thought. So will probably go that route. Basically would just reuse my turbo which isn't that old, Jake's, damper, alternator, etc. but it has water and oil pumps. -
Kruse Family Farms Thanks this.

Probably the final update on this one for anyone who cares. Going to order a reman long block from Cummins tomorrow. Going to ship it to the shop and they are going to start work on it next week. It would cost me 3k between ordering a gantry crane and towing to get it back to my house. Around 5k labor at the shop. So I am going to let them do it. Honestly they won't have to do anything crazy so I'm not to worried about anything going wrong. Basically just installing Jake's and accessories. Probably will be in it between 35-40k. Which I paid cash for the truck around 4-5 years ago at this point. So I guess it could be worse. I love the truck and have done a lot of other work to it so I don't want to get rid of it. I have also always loved the N14....other than injectors. Probably going to snag a new air compressor, oil pan and potentially a damper if needed. That's pretty much it. Thanks guys. Hope your week goes better than mine lol.
SmallPackage and Big Road Skateboard Thank this.
