    Okay....I guess. We've replaced the turbo once, and had exactly one injector fail in 1,020,963 miles. Ours are only 10 years old.

    Right you are ..it was a long block. I'm wondering why you'd have to replace all of the other things instead of transferring?

    Mileage

    I got it from a Freightliner dealer in Washington state, who got it from Detroit Diesel. Engine was a little over $ 13k, the balance was labor and a few miscellaneous parts. Whoever told you $28k was seriously jerking your chain. They can still be had for the price we paid, today.

    Mileage

    I paid $22,303.84 for our reman, installed. That was at 654k on the clock. However, I guarantee it was abused before we bought it. I expect this one to go 700k or more. Almost 400 now. Mileage is 11 if everything is perfect. 10 is average if the slightest thing is off (i.e., wind, valves need...

    Redundant questions of an expediter

    When I was just casually spinning through the thread, I saw "Panther" and then "Vegetation Management ", and then I .......well, nevermind. I kid. Here's an answer for one question - government clearance : yes. It's almost useless, unless your co-driver has it. That said, there are...

    Allison transmission

    We're at 1,002,037 on ours. Probably should have changed cooler lines sooner. The metal clip inside the push-on fitting gave way a couple of weeks ago. Lucky we made it to the side of the road. We use Delvac ATF. Much cheaper, and ours is just a bit out of warranty. Out of every component on...
