Average cost to rebuild cummins?
As some of you may know, i recently "burned up" my "turned up" (ya I know.. lame joke. Gotta make light of the situation somehow) cummins. Was driving, turned the radio down a bit, heard it clanking like crazy. Pulled into parkinglot, noticed clanking fluctuated with revs, but still had excellent throttle response. Turned around to head home, a few miles from home the truck would idle at 500rpms, NO power, and the clanking could be heard for what I presume to be blocks.
The truck still starts up at the drop of a hat, idles at 500 but clanks. I'm thinking dropped valve, crank bearing, or perhaps a shot injector. Truck has 268k miles on stock injectors.
So what kinda damage may be done? Is it worth it to rebuild the motor with badass parts? (good cam and everything else)? How much is the average "f-up-cummins" rebuild going for in the shop? I dont have the time or tools to do it on my own
