I state The bzinger theory like this-
If you beat the truck, the truck will beat you.
If you baby the truck, the truck will baby you.
Is it worth to fix ?

Engine is just the beginning. You will need another $10k soon after, then another 10k and then another 15k, only after that you will be good for a while
Opendeckin, Ruthless and Feedman Thank this. -

I know the coveted bull gear gets shined on about 95% of the time on those cost effective Series 60's.

What ‘engine failure’ are they talking about? That is a vague term. What happened?
-
bigger picture: you're using it every once in a while (once in 4 months) for “weekend amazon loads”
If you dropped $15k to get it fixed, how many years will it take and additional repairs made, before you are in a profitable situation with it?
This is not a “well, mechanically what needs fixed” this is a “if you lose money doing something and wouldn’t be profitable if you increased volume, that’s not much of a business” in my opinion.Roger McG, KrumpledTed and SL3406 Thank this. -
Have to be more specific about engine failure as stated above. Find out what actually failed in the engine and see if this shop's labor price is right or wrong to repair "engine failure".
