Check out the Asheville Engine guys.
Asheville Engine Rebuilders - Home
I know of 10 engines that have been installed and all were good engines. There is one guy on here that recently purchased an AE engine - check out that thread. They claim to have shipped 80 rebuilt engines so far this year.

Thanks for the replies guys. I had a big response typed last night and my mouse took a dive and I lost it all. It was late, and I was beat, so I just cussed and went to bed. Probably going to pull it out and tear it down before I decide what to do. (The 6.0, not the mouse)

MisterCMK, so did Asheville Engine. Believe it or not, some people think that Monty is my alter ego. LOL.
John, you must be pretty close to Lethbridge. I just shipped an engine to a customer in Bassano at the beginning of March. I don't know who he had do the installation because we did not ship it directly to the shop like we usually do.
Due to the added expense of paper handling at the border, I shipped it to a freight dock in Shelby, MT and he drove down, picked it up, and carried it across himself.
Check out our web site AshevilleEngine.com and let me know if we can answer any questions for you.

Turbo oil from massive blowby would have caused it. With the ignition off, it had to have an outside fuel source, and that's all there was. It was running away on the highway before the big runaway, so it was toast before that. I might go fire it up and take a video, in all my years I have NEVER seen blowby like this. It's had it bad for some time, I did a ccv reroute 2 years ago, and put it back to stock after a few months - the blowby was so bad people were giving me the stink eye when I pulled up beside them at at the lights.
I think it probably got hurt a few years back when I first bought it, and drove it for 3 or 4 months with a bad egr cooler, because I had no idea about 6 liter engines.
*Edit.. I live in the middle of nowhere and a runaway on the highway wouldn't be much worse than my normal Italian tuneup procedure...

I'm about 30 minutes east of Bassano, and I have a US address in Sweet Grass. What would shipping be to zip 59484?
Not sure what I'm doing yet, I've found a couple of engines fairly close to home (500 miles, if you can call that close) that have less than 200,000km for $2000.

Sweetgrass and that area is the most expensive place to ship to! About $400.
I'm sure that there are a lot of opinions out there. I think that $2,000 for a used engine is O.K. if you plan to get rid of the truck but if you plan to keep it or make it much easier to sell, you should at least put an engine in that's been upgraded with all the fixes. You can upgrade a used one but it's still used and has 125K miles on it if the guy selling it is being honest with you.
Whether it's ours or somebody elses, a reman is more money but it's worth the xtra in my opinion. All of our long blocks are remanned with new parts and have ARP Head Studs.

Just spent the last 1.5 hrs trying to get a video off my phone onto a hosting site. Tried everything... so frustrating. Created a youtube channel, it says I don't have one, when I try to create one it says oooppss you have one. Nothing works... I now have a google account that I don't want or need, a youtube channel that doesn't work, and lots of other crap. Vid is too big to message or attach to an e-mail, which it won't let me create...
Anybody know an easy way to get a blowby video off of a Samsung galaxy 3 onto the internet??

After hours of getting new e-mail addresses, joining google etc, I finally just posted it to my facebook timeline. Now everybody knows my 6.0 is dead. Even photobucket wouldn't upload it without making me do a bunch of stuff, and then it still wouldn't work. So sick of all this info gathering, signing up BS. Anyways, here is my truck idling. It was worse when I first started it up, but the first video didn't turn out, so I had to redo it.

That crankcase venting sure looks familiar. Not that it makes it any easier for your situation.
That truck in the video was definitely overloaded and the driver was hot-rodding it while heavy, and tuned. The driver was not te owner. (I am not implying anything about your truck). The oil control ring was melted,, and the stud had the coating melted off of it. It took a new block on that one. I sure hope you fair better than that customer.

I just watched that vid again and I see that I didn't show how that venting filled up the shop. It looked much worse than the video reflected. We all love rebuild threads tho!!! Lord know I've done my share on here. If you do find the time to do it,, we will all ride with ya.

I own an F-550 that was about like that. It had 260,000 miles on it (mostly hauling a loaded trailer down the interstate) and I assumed it cracked a piston or had a hole burned in one. When it was disassembled, all the rings fell off the pistons, it was just worn out!
