all I can tell you is that if it was done under warranty and done by Cummins , the only parts that will be replace are anything that is out of reuse specifications. you said you lost the turbo. Then the pistons that have damage from the debris will be replace only , no rod bearing or main bearing will be replaced , you will get new piston rings , if the block is ok , it will be reuse and if the head is ok it will be reused. hope that helps......

The reciet from the dealer should list all the parts that were replaced with a description. It wont show the price as it was under warranty. I hope this helps.
