complete Cummins

I checked in on this eBay Motors item and he wants $4000 complete which is a good deal except the shipping to me ended up between $1000 and $2000 so I didn't go for it.



A local wrecking yard has a 95 with 92,000 miles on that he would make complete for $4000 plus my 7. 3 NA core.



Cummins had a special back in March/May or so and they had 5. 9s with various Dodge specs (auto/manual/different years) that were New and Complete for $6000. Of course I was not sure what I was going to do at the time but that was a good deal.

I'm not familiar with auto insurance salvage vehicle pricing but there's a '93 W350 up in Duluth, MN that has a ACV (whatever that is) of $14,500 & an estimated repair cost of $11,500. If I'm doing this right, then the difference btwn the 2, $3000, is what the COMPLETE vehicle should about go for at a salvage auction. Only catch is you might have to have a dealer/salvager bid on it for you (laws vary -- some auctions are open to the public, others are not). In case you're interested, here's the link.



Good luck.

I picked up mine for the conversion into the chevy truck a 1998 with 3k miles and whole wiring harness from the truck ( under hood and under dash) pcm and ecm, NV4500 2wd trans. The clutch disk still had the lettering on the face. I picked it up about 1. 5 years ago for 4k... keep looking some people think these things are gold.

Paid $2700 for a '94 with 70K miles and that was shipped from Wisconsin to TX.

"the shipping to me ended up between $1000 and $2000 so I didn't go for it"



BV,



That shipping amount is way out of line. You should be able to get that motor to you for between $400. - $700. freight collect.

I bought a Bridgeport mill of 2400 lbs. in Cihicago shipped for $700. , a 900 lb surface grinder from Racine shipped for $360. , a 1400 lb. lathe from Connecticut shipped for $450. , and a 800 lb. tool & cutter grinder in New Jersey shipped for $375. I picked them all up in Portland.

It's about size, weight, and classification and there's some room for creative thinking. If you want, PM me and I'll give you a name and number of a Spokane guy who should be able to work with you.

Check with Forward Air for shipping. Their prices beat everyone else I have found.
