    Have new reservoir in truck. $426. Volvo parts isn't cheap. Will install today later when engine cools to drain coolant. Chinisium from Amazon for $100 lasted only 2 months. Lesson learned.

    So what the reason you want to overhaul engine? Low engine oil pressure? Low compression? Power loss?
    Pull injectors out to check. You will see which one is bad by tip color. Borescope cylinders for polishing. How camshaft looks like? How is cylinder performance test was? Any differences between cylinders? How injectors performance test was. Fuel system leak test.
    Cummins know how to sell 5hit.
    Overhaul they offered will not fix emission problem. Com on over 67th FJ tomorrow morning i will show you what is what.

    Actually not.
    Home a couple nights a week.
    Many overnighters. (In wyo)
    Work one weekend a month.
    That 65k is only the very top. Easy to not even reach 60k.
