I know some of you will consider this foolishness, but has anyone ever completely replaced/upgraded the ISB 250 Cummins in an FL 70?
Our carrier allows 'not-new' trucks with the proper upkeep and maintenance, and it seems more logical ($$) to us to keep our great sleeper and good truck and just replace the ISB junk.
Anyone - have you had it done or know of the swap with the new ISB/ISC's, how much moohlah to get it out the door, and any good shop recommendations? ANY PITFALLS?
So far Frtlnr says a week to build the engine out - it's not a stock/warehouse item. And we've found about $5-7K parts and $5-7K for labor.
Thanks everyone!
