Ok i have a 2003 Dodge that was involved in an accident, oil pan was crushed. Lost all of oil before truck was shut off and bunrt mains out of engine. Crank is shot, mails are blued on crank, rods and rod bearings are fine. I am thinking of trying to fix what i have, but it may cost me more in the long run. Has anyone ever put a crankshaft in a Cummins and had good luck out of it? I called some salvage yards and they said the engine was 2003 only. Won't a pre 04.5 work? What would be different. All replies will be appreciated becuse i am on a tight budget to get truck running. Thanks

WOuld also be interested in a crankshaft or an engine if anyone has one let me know. raybob_99@yahoo.com

 

How much do you have to spend?

Well like everyone i want to get by as cheap as possible, but i don't want to have problems soon as i get it fixed. What you have in mind?

 

RJ Performance has EPA test engines for around $6K. You have to swap over some accessories (PS pump AC etc.). They claim to have the equivalent of around 3K miles. You might also want to check Rhino Engines.

Will your insurance not cover the repair cost since it was caused by and accident.
