what would you do c 15 cat problem?????

Like he said no matter who foots the bill being in the shop don't pay a trucker a thin penny.

 

and the stories that can be told!!!

 

That was the dilemma I faced. Basically what you have is a situation where why would someone pay you $9k for a truck with a down motor when truckpaper is full of older running trucks for the same price? Everyone knows what it costs to inframe a CAT and it ain't for nothing that they call the kits silver, gold, and platinum. From the dealer's standpoint the truck is basically worthless and to put money into an inframe would have them upside down. There's always the salvage yard but they're not going to give you $9k for a parts truck. I hated sinking the money into mine considering it was more than what the truck would sell for but it was the least painful of several painful options. Luckily mine wasn't SDP.

 

newer engines= big repair cost

 

Another huge expense that needs to be considered in the rebuilding process. Is your dpf filter destroyed from two turbos coming apart

 

Get it back home.
Look for secondhand engine from a salvage yard.
Trade it in for a 2012 or younger model truck.

But to spend 24k on it...............that's crazy.

I would start looking in the above link i posted.
Lots off engines for sale.
Better option then dropping 24k to rebuild.
