How do you figure?
cause you're ****ed if you need a new duramax. its not like a regular old gas engine that you can get a reman from joe schmoes shop down the street for 1000 bucks. 10k is a lot of money just to get your truck going again if you happen to blow it up real good.
didnt mean that to come across like GM was taking advantage, just meant the owner is SOL and GM gets the big money for thier fancy engine.
out of curiosity, were you looking this up for a customer? and if so, what was the cause.

Oh well....
GM is going under anyway so it'll just go up in value.....:;

I don't think Government Motors will go under, and that engine is just priced that way to help pay back their loan :haha:

No--because its sitting in my stall and ready to go in :haha:
This is also a loaded motor, with injectors and the whole 9 yards..
For the record since the motor was released, this is the 4th one I know of that has been replaced, one I saw blow up (WOT for 20 seconds and I mean WOT).
And the motor, nor any of its parts come from GM, it comes from source which is "izuzu"....
Should see what the bill was on the 05' I had to put heads on recently :haha:

Gm will not go away. I am hoping it files bankruptcy though because its the only way for it to clean its books and become a stronger company.

My boss got taken for 11k to replace the motor in his 2000 Dodge when it got the famous 53 block crack.. Of course I told him where a new cummins motor was that the guy decided not to use and decided to sell.. Boss wasn't happy.
It will become a much smaller company, too.

Thanks for adding that--I forgot to :redneck:
At least north American portion will, rest will still gain more share of the market and grow..
The smartest thing they could do is get the government out of their decision making, with taking money from the government they will put to many regulations on them and force them to produce vehicles that nobody will buy, just as they have in the past. Green cars don't sell.

Ahhh. Now that makes sense.
What doesn't make sense is why anyone would do that to any engine? I mean, even 1/4 milers only do it for 10 seconds or less, right?
I would have thought a DuraMax would at least live up to it's name, but I see that isn't true.
BTW, how many miles were on that one that blew?

It's a diesel, they're always WOT......Just add fuel.
lol.. you need to spend more time on our side of the tracks.. lol... we got duraturds shelling parts all the time...
and 20sec.. lol.. wtf??? heck with as little power as they make thats not even a full dyno run...
a cummins is rated to run agenst the govenor @ full load @ 100% duty cycle..... :fawkdancesmiley: but you knew that allready.....

There's a HUGE difference between full load against a governor and float the valves free wheeling.
