Ft. Ogliethorpe? I know I misspelled that.

Try Bean up in Woodbury, he isn't all that far from you. He is only an hr from me. If you want modified injectors Casserly is in Mboro.

I live in a small British Columbia town. I had my truck in getting a diagnostic done a while back. They at first seemed to think it was a head gasket problem. I said no it wasn't, it ended up being some injectors.

The owner told me the last gasket job he did was 10 grand.

That for sure is way to much just for a gasket R&R job.

For $10k you could probably buy a spanking new engine....

What a frigging rip-off...

Diesel repairs are almost getting to the point of making any truck out of warranty disposable if you need a repair.

10K wont cover new motor lol, but it is way to much for HGs. When the dealer put my motor in under warrenty, the bill was around 15K for the job. Fortunatly it only cost me 120.lol

He also quoted me a price of $2,500 to replace a couple injectors. I bought 8 newer used ones and put them in myself. Total cost was probably around $600.00, beer included.

You can buy a set of injectors(modified ones at that) and beat that price for just two injectors(I'm assuming stock, not modified).

$10k should buy the engine, may not cover the install but there is no reason it should not cover the cost of the engine, if it doesn't it is a rip off. You can buy crate race engines for less and they are built in lower volume.

A person I know had head gaskets replaced in a 03 it was 5400 Dollars CND.

When you live in Canada or British Columbia you get ripped off when it comes to parts and repairs. Just a thing you have to deal with.
