I prefer CAT parts... you don't have to buy from your local vendor... better prices may be had elsewhere.Gulfstream said: ↑Thanks to all, I appreciate all the input.
I am going to go ahead and get the hood, bumper and radiator/condensor/intercooler out , and then get them both out together. A good friend has a wrecker service and owns an unreasonably expensive rotator truck, I would be guessing at the lifting capabilities, but I am pretty sure it is overkill for this particular application.
The previous owner said it had a whine in the tranny and at 1,000,000 miles I plan on having it gone thru anyway, or possibly going thru it myself
, also at that point a clutch is almost a given. I want to be able to drive myself from Florida to Washington steady, with total piece of mind.
I am not sure whether or not I should start a new thread for this , but, does anyone have any experience with IDP's engine kits or Republic Diesel? http://www.republicdiesel.com/

Yes, I am not going thru all this to skimp on parts. The IDP stuff looks to me to be good stuff. I have also been looking thru places like http:www.heavytruckparts.net for a few things. My guess is I will be sitting at a Cat parts counter for few things like injectors,seals and a few sensors.
