Signature 600 needs rebuild

Buy a different or same engine for a lot less. 25-30k is a rip

 

I would find another shop had my cummins 870 rebuilt for $14200 thats new head,liners pistons,rods,mains water pump, t stats and he did it in 4 and a half days.

 

No kidding i would think you could get a crate n14 with all kinds of warranty for close to that 25k mark.

 

Not far off. Long block setup for CPL 2592 is 7500 plus shipping. For under 20k you could have an engine ready to drop in.

 

If an n14 will fit...

A Recon big cam engine from Cummins is probably less yet without any of the injector problems or electronic nightmares.

It is basically the same engine as an n14 Minus electronic issues. And minus the expensive wiring and minus the expensive injectors. And without the expensive computer and the expensive nonsense sensors and all the other worthless junk that goes along with that. The famous big cam is inexpensive, reliable and Powerful, and easy to turn up if that's what you want to do.

And also very easy to work on and inexpensive to work on.

You are ELD exempt so it's not a problem for you.

Why on Earth would anyone spend more than they have to for Junk that's going to cost you more in the end?

And by the way for just the cost of what that stupid computer costs, you could probably rebuild that big cam twice. And that's without the expensive injectors and wiring and sensors and Bs...

I'm always completely amazed at how much money people are willing to spend. I guess you guys have a lot of it to spend.

I prefer to keep my money in my pockets. Just seems like plain old common sense.

That's my two cents I'm out. Good luck.

 

I dropped 31k on a 12.7 Detroit. Third rebuild. The 2nd one they slammed pistons liners and bearings in and it didnt last long. Before I bought it. So when it was time the engine came out and everything except Turbo which was new, and power steering pump went back. Did it all in one shot, up time is important and I want another million miles out of it. Then when engine was done I removed rear axles,suspenion and trashed it. Replaced with complete backend of a 2014 with 30k miles. about another 4k. All on a truck I gave 13k for. Its old, fuel efficent, reliable and paid for. If rust ever does in the frame. Im prepaired to replace it. Still cheaper than making payments on a new one. "And my dad has a excellent set of tools, I can fix itman, he is a tv repairman".
