my service truck has said motor in it. Truck has 320k on the odometer and shows 21k hrs on the ecm. Motor is tired and I’m suspicious that it’s not original anyway. Low power, fair amount of blowby, oil consumption, gets warm in the hills, etc. it’s getting time to replace. The truck is from the south and it in very good shape for the year. Definitely worth a new engine. I’m not going to rebuild it. The motor doesn’t have removable liners and I don’t have time to pull it and get the block machined. I called cummins and they quoted me 14k with a 4K core. I’ve found a few engine outfits on the interweb that advertise these engines already rebuilt with a 3 yr 75k mile warranty for around $4500. I’m a firm believer that if it sounds too good to be true it probably is. Why such a difference in price and does anyone have any experience with buying an engine from an outfit like this?
