They are programmed to run wide open when cold to warm up asap. Really stupid engineering. Nothing like red-lining your engine with everything cold and oil thick as taffy.

This is just a general question for the other International Techs out there about rebuilding Maxxforce 13s. We have had a couple now that had to be rebuilt and we were wondering if anyone here has had to rebuild one yet. What I want to know is, does anyone remove the complete engine from chassis to rebuild it, or do you fight your way through it in frame? We all know how ridiculous these are to work on and doing a rebuild inframe is down right disgusting! So far the extra time spent dealing with all the crap around the engine is about the same as actually removing the engine. Our management doesn't want us pulling engines to rebuild them, but they also still think a 40 hour rebuild quote is fair too. Just looking for a better way and maybe save some sanity!
Thanks!

Personally, I do not quote times or prices. Rebuilding can be done several ways and involve different combination of parts. It just leads to too many arguments and people that will continuously one-up you on trying to do it faster and cheaper.
