First off the head that I replaced a couple weeks ago, before I knew it made a difference, isn't a cummins head like the original one is. The original head was replaced due to no6 injector cup leaking coolant. Since I'm already pulling the head again, should I have the original head rebuilt with new injector cups or just leave the current aftermarket head? This truck has the CM871 and it only has 310K miles total on the truck. I believe around 9-10K hours. Also I currently have diesel and oil samples sent off and I'm awaiting test results. I really appreciate all the helpful posts from everyone it has made all of this process so much easier because of the info y'all put out.

DO NOT USE OR HAVE RE-MACHINED, THE OLD OEM HEAD. OEM heads should never be re-used after 435k miles (or equivalent hours)!!!!. -- AND CERTAINLY DO NOT USE THE AFTER-GARBAGE HEAD THAT IS CURRENTLY ON IT, AS IT IS NOW RUINED (and it was noting but trash any ways)!!!... YOU WILL BE ON HERE IN A YEAR OR THREE AT BEST AND COMPLAINING IT HAS TO ALL COME APART YET AGAIN!!!..

---AND NO AFTER-GARBAGE BRAND OF INTERNALS EITHER!@!!---

DO YOU WANT IT DONE RIGHT, SO THAT THE MONEYS THAT YOU DO SPENT WILL EARN YOU BACK MORE THAN YOU PUT INTO IT VIA HIGHER RELIABILITY AND BETTER LONGEVITY???... .. OR DO YOU WANT TO NICKEL AND DIME IT TO DEATH AND THE REGRET IT LATER???>..

(investing in your commercial equipment as a business owner is like investing into the future)...
IF THIS WERE THE STOCK MARKET... WOULD YOU RATHER INVEST IN IBM AND MICROSOFT AT A HIGHER COST?//.. OR INVEST IN ENRON AND BRE-X, ONLY TO BE LEFT HOLDING AN EMPTY WALLET WHEN THEY FILED FOR CHAPTER-11.

HERE IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN... NO SHORTCUTS.. NO AFTER-GARBAGE.. NO RE-USING THAT HEAD THAT IS NOT, NO GOOD BECAUSE IT WAS HALF-ARRSED THE FIRST TIME THAT IT CAME OFF!!!>...

100% OF WHAT IS MENTIONED THERE.. ALL OF IT .. NO SHORTCUTS, NO AFTER-TRASH!!!.

And good luck finding anyone willing to do things 100% correctly like that + all the extra steps mentioned there, because most shops don't have a clue any more these days, and would rather argue with you than take the extra time to do things right.

STOP WASTING ALL YOUR DAMN MONEYS TRYING TO SAVE $$$ ... BECAUSE THAT S#$IT DON;T WORK WITH ISX'S!!!.

THIS IS WHAT YOUR FUTURE WILL BE OTHERWISE!!!...: https://rawze.com/forums/showthread.php?...5#pid41315

-- and get that bad/questionable delete program pulled and sent over to me for a proper review too.. lest you repeat your fate again in the future on that issue alone.

These red engines do not tolerate red-necking things.. they do not tolerate after-garbage parts.. or after-garbage overhaul kits, after-trash heads, etc.. - They do not tolerate anything but a BRAND NEW OEM HEAD (or a cumming-only certified re-man, worse case, if new is not available).

FINANCIALLY INVEST WISELY AND COMPLETELY,.. OR YOU WILL NOT GET A RETURN ON THAT MONEYS BEFORE IT FAILS AGAIN, DIGGING YOU DEEPER AND DEEPER INTO THAT BLACK HOLE OF REPEATED FAILURES THAT YOU, YOURSELF CREATED!!. Its plain and simple.
