Can a backyard mechanic inframe theses new epa turds like a dd15 or mp or isx. My dads done a bunch of old E6s and big cams over the years top to bottom and currently rebuilding 93 E-7.
I'm guessing custom tool are required on the new stuff. And fab'n up stuff like custom liner pullers isn't very wise.
Doing all our own work turbo oil pump and all the little odds and ends included about 6-7k that mack will be ready for another million
How much did your last in-frame cost?

old thread, but I'm in...
in 2012 I had the platinum in-frame done on my 6NZ at a Caterpillar dealer. $28,000 Canadian with a 4 year warranty, and they have been back into it twice. first time it dropped a liner after 3 years, they also replaced camshaft, rockers, and followers when they tested out of spec. the last time was just a week ago after finally diagnosing a miss that started back in 2016 just before it went off warranty. got new reman injectors and head but had to pay labour cost. not a bad deal for the engine being 2 years out of warranty, good thing we had all documentation regarding the missing issue.SAR Thanks this. -
Spent about $12,000 doing my ‘99 N14 Celect Plus last June. Liners, pistons, rings, bearings, heads, injectors, turbo, harmonic balancer, thermostats, couple of pulley bearings, belts, and other stuff I’m not thinking of.
Oh and new head bolts. That was a grand right there.HopeOverMope, SheepDog and SAR Thank this. -

New heads were $500 each. Turbo $650. You can buy inframe kits for less than $2500. Simple, reliable engine that gets down the road pretty dang good.SAR Thanks this. -
