How much do you think it'll cost to replace these?
1 New 5.9 liter Cummins
1 Fass Fuel System
1 Twin turbo
1 diesel fuel tank
Fuel lines
Weekly truck rental until his truck is fixed.
Labor to replace all of these items is not cheap, unless maybe you can do it for free?
As far as union or non, I can tell you that when you travel for work when you are non union, you go to work as many hours as you can. There is no time to sit idle and contemplate how the rats are taking your jobs, us rats are busy making money, not scheming how we can stop somebody from doing better for themselves.
I have been doing this close to twenty years and have traveled for ten of them for work, I have to say that non union travelers have more respect towards each other than the union does and we don't get jealous because the other guy is doing better than we are. There is no time to sabotage another mans equipment, unless you are fully rested and sit on your behind for more hours than you are working.
My 2006 5.9 cummins cost 27,000 dollars to replace at mike brown dodge in granbury tx. In order for the waranty to still be valid. replaced whole complete motor, all fuel lines, injectors, turbo, head, computer, All intake hoses, air cleaner box, fuel tank & intercooler. Mine was due to contaminated fuel and a dusted motor. I had three other cummins certified shops give a price they were all in that range. I had to do mine to keep waranty so I could sell the POS
It was completly stock no chip or anything. I bought the truck and then the motor **** out, truck was in shop two weeks before I bought it but the dealership that it was at never turned the paperwork in so it never showed up as trouble. guess live in learn.
I have always heard about other welders doing stuff to other welders stuff union and non union. I would have some proof before I said someone did it. JMHO
