does anyone know where I could find/get a remanufactured or rebuilt 24valve common rail cummins without having to buy a donor truck because all i need is the motor.

 

Have you checked EBay?

 

tried ebay and no luck

 

you must not have looked very hard I just counted 10 listings for 03 and up motors. http://motors.search.ebay.com/cummin...1QQsacatZ33615

 

have a guy here that deals in parts for 3rd gen he has several for around 5k i believe, low miles on some of them

 

I've seen a lot of CR engines for sale on various boards, but it seems they are made of gold.....asking 6500 bucks and stuff.....

 

heck i have an 03 motor thats scored with a redone head i will sell ya its not complete the fuel system is gone but i have an 07 5.9 system to go with it. gonna p-pump the 07 motor

 

Why p-pump a third gen? Just throw on a second cp3....

 

cuz i'm tired of killing motors with these crappy electronic injectors that are over priced and dont last. went thru 3 sets on the 03 on my second set on my 06. have 2 scored blocks and dropped valvles because of problems due to injector issues

 

i found the same motor you did on ebay but it has 53,000 miles on it. I'd like to find one with less miles on it if i can.

 

I see you're in Sugarland. There are tons of salvage yards in Houston. I was in one in Pasadena a year or so ago. There was a wrecked 1ton 05 or 06. Out of curiosity I asked how much for the motor. They said $4500. I know it probably is not there anymore, but it shows that there are some to be found. Plus salvage yards are fun. You never know what you might find in there.
