I ordered everything from {garbage after-market sales} parts. Reman block, new head, rebuild kit. All from {same place}. Maybe should have went oem but i was trying them out. I heard of good success from people I know. Since ive I had issues with oem parts from cat on my other truck. Ecm programming was done by another shop in my area.
Just bought a laptop so I’ll figure out how to copy it and email to you. Thank you

this is exactly what people get when they try to save a few $$$ by not going OEM only on these red engines.

I have never seen much success with after-garbage parts on cummins stuffs. they are unlike those yellow motors and most things are throw-away once they come apart... ESPECIALLY THE HEAD!!!.

You gambled and lost it seems.. and now you have saved zero moneys by choosing garbage components that are not directly from the manufacturer. One can only hope hope like all h$ell that you have all the extra moneys to now do it all over again, and that you have learned your lesson.

As far as red engines go... IF IT COUNTS .. THEN IT SHOULD ONLY BE CERTIFIED OEM COMPONENTS ONLY!!!. ANYTHING LESS = A FAILED HEADACHE AND MONEYS THROWN AWAY AT THE END OF THE DAY!!

Another one bites the dust. Lol. Definitely a hard lesson learned. Hopefully this truck won’t be a complete tear down again.
