Is the 6.4 dead? Opinions needed please

[Stg2Suby]

Maybe there could be a separate thread for Cummins vs Duramax arguments, this one is supposed to focus on viable options for a dead 6.4

I have had LOTS of experience with Cummins.
I have been driving 20 years, have had many trucks, hAve friends with trucks, worked at companies that had truck, have friends at dealerships that sell truck, know mechanics that work on trucks....

head gasket in the Rodgers pass was the last Cummins good time I had.

jesus crhist you Cummins fan boys are hilarious...lmao

Lol calm down its just a question. Your so sensitive. Lol JK.

All of the above goes for me and the duramax, And the cummins, and the ford 6.0l and newer.

Head gasket problems??, probably chipped.

They all have problems, just different issues.

yes all mechanical devices have can have issues.
duramax''s have had the least amount for me.

does that mean Cummins are total ****? no.
they are my second choice for a diesel pickup though.

Cummins fan's seem to have major issues with anybody saying there is something better. based on my experience
with Cummins fan boys lol

I was just having some fun, its all good. I liked my chev service truck I had. Great on fuel and pulled super test without down shifting. Just not a great overall service truck.

I'm exploring all options......getting numbers to see what a person is up against. Labour for an engine swap seem to be coming in between $2,000 and $3,000. Seem right?

Got another labour quote $4,500 plus fluids. 160K engine with 4 month warranty $6,400.

Sounds about right on the labor. Have you called Summitric??? Looking at pics of your truck, its in very good shape and worth repairing/replacing the engine.

That’s not to bad! Neighbour did one and it looked like a lot of work!

AB Superduties says $6,000 to $7,000 to rebuild current engine. Where in that range depends on how bad inside. Warranty only on the parts he installs.....lol. That would give me a running truck again and help gain some value back.

 

[sirkdev]

I’d go discuss with him.. One of my clients is very happy with his work. 3 trucks.. tell him the guy who polishes Sheldon from Wainwright’s trucks says so..

Did you end up pulling the trigger on another motor? or you still want to part with the truck? Pm me if you have a price in mind.

Got it repaired at Alberta Superduties. Great experience! Peter seems like a straight forward guy. Enjoyed speaking with him. Cylinder was still good so no machining required, which also kept cost down. Seems to run better than ever!

What did they find failed? I suspect mine cracked a piston yesterday. Same thing that happened to yours so I popped the oil fill and the blow by shot the cap into the hood lol, also wondering your cost, you can pm if you’d like.

 

[ZRrrr]

Well that sucks. Was a cracked piston due to leaky injector, cylinder 2. PM sent.
