These are some prices I got on Genuine Cummins parts so far:

NEW Head, Cylinder 5413782 - $3,925
Overhaul Kit 4376175 - $4,037
Injector Camshaft 4101432 - $1,625

Any input if on prices? Too high? Average? Any tips on where to go or who to talk to to get better prices?

Thanks guys

About average IMO. That piston also looks to have a hole in it...

I got nothing on prices. But im curious of the cause of a spun cam bearing? Never saw one that wasn't from a truck that wasn't dry started.

Aerodynamics? JK yea I see that. Guess I should consider myself lucky it made it to the shop under its own power

It was leaking a tremendous amount of oil. So probably low oil when it started up sometime or while running. I mean a lot of oil like the title to this post says 17 gallons in the last week it was running crankcase pressure, blowby, and oil out of everywhere including oil dipstick.

Oil from everywhere because gases blown down around the piston. Why did you drove her leaking whole week? Truck isn't woman.

Lol. First time I have a driver it was his 3rd week. I think that explains it.
