I'm told and promised that it does run. The oil pan apparently got banged up and leaks from their removal process though so I need to put the old one on it.
The new motor looks like it had front and rear main leakage so I planned on new seals when I did it. I was going to order the seals with the sleeves assuming the crank has wear grooves but don't know if I need install tools or not.
I was considering other gaskets etc just to be proactive.

 

The water pump is a must do, so go ahead and do that now. What about the intake/intake plenum/exhaust manifold gaskets?

At 82k miles your replacement engine shouldn't need new seals, but since it's out and you need to R/R the oil pan anyway make a run over to the local Cummins shop for your parts if you have one nearby. It'll be cheaper than the dealer, and you'll be able to get the parts quicker.

Make sure you keep the oil pickup handy as well, depending on where the oil pan got crushed you might need to swap it out as well.


That's about all I can think of without seeing it ......

Agreed, on waterpump and front/rear seals. It's easier to do that now vice 20k down the road. I'd also replace the front pump seal on the transmission and output shaft seal(s) too.

I thought the engine computers were mated to the engine serial number also, but I could be mistaken on that. Might be something to look into.

 

I def intend to do the front and rear seals with the oil pan gasket.
Does anyone have experience with that?? One guy said I don't need an install tool to do the seal/wear sleeve kit and others said I do.
When I look on parts sites, I see some seals that come with cover gaskets and others that are just a seal. Confusion!!
I plan to do the water pump and o ring and there's a thick square o ring on the pass side of the engine at the water return that I plan to do as well.
I don't know about the intake/exh man gaskets or how much of a pita they would be to do.
Also, oil return gask at turbo, rad hoses, serp belt.
I talked to a guy about the freeze plugs and he said don't bother if they look dry so dunno.
There is a block off plate on the drivers side that has a vent hose out of it and a gasket under the plate (looks like a fuel pump delete plate) and I can't seem to find the gasket anywhere online.

 

I'm going to ask here in case those that are following would know and also post a new question....

How in the heck do you remove a fan hub nut that is stuck beyond all belief???!?
This is even with the engine out of the truck with more room.
I have tried bars, vise grips, tightening the serp belt, etc.
I have sprayed lube on it as well.
2 hours of trying so far and 20 cuts on my hands and no luck.
I have also googled it and watched videos.
