Default 6.7 disaster

Hope someone can help. I have a 6.7 cummins, manual 6 speed in a quad cab 3500 cab and chassis. My employee ran the truck out of oil and now I need to replace the engine. Several 2007 6.7 take-outs are available. Is there anything specific I need to know?

If that thing was dry then a rebuild was needed anyway , right ?? I wanna know why it was losing/using the oil too. The driver needs a swift kick to his nuts anyway, for not checking the oil at least every other fuel stop. IMO

... in the nuts... No, he needs to pay for the damage. What a goof. How do you do that? The oil pressure gauge on the dash would have been dinging at you like a christmas carole.
