It was head gasket. But I'll let PT tell you the whole story. I only talked to him a little bit today.
How much did your last in-frame cost?

The bright spot is Alban CAT there in Winchester has been the best place (besides Bully Dog and their dealer) that I have dealt with in years. I will definetly deal with them in the future and I have Mr. Haney to thank for refering me to them. My hat goes off to you again Haney...you're the man.josh.c Thanks this. -
Well lame. Pretty frustrating to spend that much on something just to get it working the way it should've been in the first place.

Has anyone done a 12.7 Detroit recently? Looking at a Pete with a 430hp 12.7 that's right at 1M miles so I'm guessing that it may need an inframe in the near future and would like to know what it may run me. The price is right on the truck if the inframe isn't outrageous.

Had my bxs acert done in February. New bearings, oil pump, cylinder packs, head, injectors, water pump, turbos, compressor. Rebuilt jakes, iva's, fan clutch. All new coolant hoses and tubes. Four year unlimited mileage. All for the low price of $30,700.
Had I known then what I know now I would have just bought a new C-16 pre-emission crate motor instead. Next time I guess. -

There is something to be said for the plug an play method. Just getting a remanned engine and swapping engines out. Saves on wondering if everything got done, reduces downtime, etc. Maybe a little more up front, but having a 3 yr / 300,000 mile OEM warranty like a new engine is a nice plus. And while the engine is swapped out, one can do the clutch or whatever at the same time if needed. I was at a NPower Cummins in Eau Claire recently and priced just for grins. Pricing for a recon ISX engine swapped out was not much more than having my engine totally rebuilt as priced by the independent shop I use in Des Moines. Ballpark $25,000 including labor. No parts switching except AC and alternator. Complete engine, turbo, new motor mounts, etc. If I were keeping this truck, I would just do the plug and play method.
