Oil in exhaust

[simon999]

My buddy has 05 isx and his engine crank spun rod bearings. He went to shop and he was quoted 18-20k for overhaul.
He said thats too much , so he found online 05 used engine for $11000. He was told that engine has low miles and running fine. They swap that engine for him and week later it blew coolant hoses, exhaust in coolant also oil in the coolant reservour. And also front gear cover spitting oil arround the engine.
Now he understands he wasted that $11000 instead adding extra 10000 and driving truck no worries.
In your situation you need to do complete inframe with genuine cummins parts instead of chasing used engine which is not smart at all.
Or you can buy reman which is 25-30k.
