Default Re: Brand new f$cking trucks with TONS of problems

I was talking about miles a mechanical motor driven full time in the city.... as in 500,000 miles. not $500,000 LOL


Last I checked a Mack E6 will cost me about $1,600 in liners,pistons,bearings rings etc... if I did the Heads the machine shop would ask about $800 for both heads. Sounds about the same as your Small cam would be. I have yet to hear anyone able to rebuild a Newer Cat,Cummins,Mack, or Detroit for twice that price. Seams every time a truck goes into a dealership for engine work its a minimum of $1000. Heck a tru flo air compressor that once cost $150 is now double that. im not knocking any brand of truck I just really hate to see owners get a brand new truck and then see all these problems that older trucks dident have.
