T680 vs T300

Model of the truck should not have an Impact on price of the rebuild. Not sure how thy could mix that up,

 

Well, considering the fact that the T300 is a medium duty and the T680 is a Class 8, it could make a huge difference. As tnevin225 said, the model of the truck should have no bearing on the cost of a rebuild when comparing apples to apples, but comparing the T680 with the T300 is comparing apples to oranges. It's the engine that's being rebuilt, correct? The T680 probably has a 13L or 15L whereas the T300 probably has an 8.3L or something of that nature. Now, I don't know the cost of the smaller engine, but it would stand to reason that it would be cheaper than the bigger one.

 

I'd be concerned if the shop cou ldnt tell the difference between a T680 and a T300. Like @Joetro says, comparing the 2 is like comparing apples and oranges.

 

A 2014 T680 is going to be substantially different from a 2003 anything, let alone a T300.
If they bungled it that badly just on the model (and we're talking about a Class 8 tractor being mixed up for what's usually a Class 7 chassis), I'd be very concerned, to say the least. Especially since one substantial difference between a 2003 anything and a 2014 T680 is that a 2014 T680 would be an EPA2010 compliant truck with the Holset aftertreatment system.

 

They going off last six of VIN? Only so many numbers so chasis numbers get used over.

 

Yes, I have an older T600 that crosses to a T300. If I don't double-check sometimes they give me the wrong part.

You need to get on these guys and straighten them out. It's YOUR money and YOUR truck.

 

What are they saying at the shop? My overhauls usually last 2 weeks...but 1 week of that is waiting for them to get around to working on it!
