ISX 870 Rebuild/Replace

[DblDwn]

Hi all,

New to the forum and lets just say after reading a ton of posts - should of, could of, would of...:-/ Anyway spun a rod bearing on the#4 cylinder on the ISX and I need to get her back in service.

Little info on the truck:
2007 Peterbilt (dirt hauler)
580000 miles
CP870
CPL8520
EGR Delete (probably done incorrectly; bought it that way)
After factory trap

Due to the good ol' CA I can only get 3.5 more years out of her, but despite that it makes since for me to put her back on the road til then. Given my circumstances - 52k miles a yr avg - is fair to think a Cummins Recon long block would see me through?

Any recommendations outside of my bright ideas would be welcome!

I don't mean to be short sighted but money is time and time is money.

Thx in advance and thank you Rawze for all the insight this place provides.
