No turbo and exhaust manifold will have too be removed. replace glow plugs while your in there as well. as for blow by soak your cdr canister in diesel to clean it.its the part on your truck with decal that says notice this end up.but most likely blow by is from hard life and has worn piston rings and or cylinder walls

Many people get used low mileage military takeouts from Teds Trucks and Stuff for much less money than a rebuild and get a better engine in long run-navistar blocks and heads are commonly sent.

10,000$ ? whered you get that quote at? i rebuild engines all the time and parts to rebuild a 6.5 cost me only 1100 so after labor n paint n remove and install i charge about 2000$ itll most likely last another year though

Those prices are absurd.

You should end up with a brand new block,heads,steel crank,rods,valves,cam,lifters,pistons,connecting rods,main girdle ect.ect.ect for that price.

Contact Peninsular Diesel in Michigan for a long block price plus any other hardware you think you need.
