Like Rawze just posted, $12,000 - $14,000, if really nice maybe as high as what, $16,000?

You will be lucky to get a few weeks out of the truck and I bet that head gasket fails again.

Bottom line, the only reason a head gasket fails in an ISX is due to the liner(s) breaking loose from lugging or abusing the motor. And you are at that magic number mileage wise, the truck is more than likely going to need more work than just the in frame. Figure $30,000 for a basic in frame, possibly a six pack of injectors and fuel pump. I am sure it will need a new crankshaft damper, replace all of the mounts, pulleys, the list can get extensive. And while she is in the shop, how is the clutch? These trucks are designed to make it 500,000 miles and than sold off to a sucker. Many of us here can attest to that. Purchase wisely grasshopper.
