$5500 for a rebuild and $60 of oil would have prevented it. Some people never get a handle on the "pay me now,or,pay me later" theory. So lets see if we can sum this up Cliff Note's style.... -He made a "mistake" and ran his beloved Cummins low on oil and destroyed a motor. -Blamed it on the underhanded sales of the previous owner since he never showed him the issues with the truck.Things that he should have seen when it was bought had he looked a bit or done some legwork up front. -Almost had heart failure when he was quoted what it would cost to rebuild his motor as he didn't want to spend that kind of cash. -Then went out and instead of spending 6k on a rebuild he spent 40k on a new H3. Makes alot of sense to me and I agree with HAYMAFIA, Stick with the gasser,you will be better off. |
Very well put

Listen first I rebuilt my dodge for $1330, grant it I had the hone and the torque wrench and other various tools required but that was the cost of the rebuild kit from a company called PAI based out of Atlanta. I was also able to do it in frame, the only tricky part was lifting the motor so that the oil pan would clear the frame. As for the torque specs get a haynes manual or something along those lines. If you were ever interested in building a motor, a diesel motor is the one to do it with. Also I only had blown rings so the only thing i had to do with my had was replace the valve seals.
