{"replyTo":"","text":"Guess I’m just old and grumpy. The only reason it’s illegal is because there is money in selling you a new one. It’s not for saving the planet. Same reason we have an eld, money, job creation, not safety. See them every day,racing the clock , both feet flat on the floor. Maybe I’m not old , just bitter I guess. I also run more than one truck, and after 38 years,seen my share of change,not all of it good. Tired of getting rear ended by more rules !","replyToPid":0}

289718 发表于 2021-06-11 03:19:59 I dunno but them telling you they can't rebuild your engine sound like a pile of 💩 unless there is something wrong with your block. if they took the head off and pulled a sleeve out and your engine was rebuilt before and the block was cut and cut to much then yea maybe

","text":"This engine has never been rebuilt before. I was told that the engine was seized. Something about the piston on #1 hole was stuck, and the rod is welded to the crankshaft. So the crank is bad. Sure, they could be lying to me. Either way, getting another much newer truck had been in my mind for months before this happened. "}

","text":"Low oil pressure in the engine. The oil pressure went to zero PSI while on the freeway. I guess the engine was toast in 3 seconds. ","replyToPid":428327}

1258332 发表于 2021-06-10 03:12:15 I think your at the wrong shop. A friend of mine just went through the same thing, only with a Cummins. He bought a running junk yard N-14, and had his shop go through it and install it in his truck, and didn’t have 10k in the whole thing. The shop used Cummins parts by the way. Don’t know where you live , he lives in GA. Can’t see where the geographic location could change the price too much.

{"replyTo":"","text":"Gliders are not worth the 140k to avoid DEF. A glider is an over priced rebuilt truck with 1 year warranty.? If you are into trucking you have to understand the def system and most of the repairs can be done by you. ","replyToPid":0}

","text":"That’s a good point. I did not check, but I was aware about used engines being sold online. My old truck is now sold.\n\nI definitely was not interested in used engines because they’re too much risk, considering that many come from trucks involved in accidents. Honestly, even if I could have found someone selling a new engine, it probably was time to get rid of that truck. There were too many problems. The truck almost hit 1 million. So it’s not too bad.","replyToPid":432896}
