Do I need an overhaul?

All the shops that come recommended also come with something very important. Honesty! You will be told up front of any mistakes made or w.e and! They won’t sell you short so you have to redo the motor 2-3 times!.

When I did my inframe at the shi#t shop, I figured I could patch it up for 10k and get back to making money. Big fucking NOOP! After being on this forum I realized one thing. I was wrong about everything!. I’m not going anywhere!

You can slap bandages on it and pray to the all mighty day and night lol but it won’t save you from doing it over again. That’s if you even decide to keep the truck afterwords.

Same here, I did not listen to the guys here, cost me $38,000! When the head blew at 70,000 miles on the first in frame, (Licensed and certified Cummins shop), Rawze called and told me to get my rear end to his house, we in framed it in his driveway. Discovered all sorts of screw ups, including the wrong parts installed in the motor, injectors, liners, pistons, cams, everything...

We are not just talking out our rear ends here, most of us learnt the hard way. Don't be a victim.

If one of those wrist pins fails, you will blow a hole through the side of the block. Don't mess with it, you are living on borrowed time.
