Blown cummins

[Jesser04]

Everyone,
My dads friends dodge just threw a rod threw the block and he is looking to get it fixed. Does anyone have any ideas of who to take it to or where to get a donor motor I am all ears he had one guy quote him 11,000 on motor with 80,000 that sounded steep to me but i don't know please help thanks Jesse

P.S. Its a 04 I am not sure what motor that is (i think its a common rail) but i know there is some dodge guys on here that would know thanks

Have you searched car-part.com?

I'd also suggest calling Trans-West auto salvage in Lehi, they should have an engine.

Check KSL there has been a few trucks on there getting parted out as well.

another place to check is klode.com they have a salvage auction in Montrose, CO about 30 minutes south of Grand Junction, CO and they are a good place to get parts vehicles! You can even go in and browse their inventory online. Just make sure you are looking at the ones in Montrose, not Denver, unless you want to go that far.
Just another option for you if all else fails!

You could try calling All Truck in SLC also--they've been good to work with for us here at the shop when we need engines and stuff.

If you cant use this engine as a whole how about just the lower end?

There is a diesel center in Lindon I think that has a few Cummins engines last I was there.
Here it is;
Utah Diesel Center
801-796-9353

Good luck

Just an idea.

Those 2 engines are very different animals, I don't think it would work and the technology is massively different. Good thought though.

Ya, I don't see an 8 valve being all the usable..

Good engine but not for that truck.

There is a company called COPART and INSURANCE AUTO AUCTIONS both are located in North SLC. They specialize in "wrecked" or basically totalled out vehicles. You can bid on anything there.I know that there are a few late model Cummins there. I dont have the number but they basically sit there to wait and be sold to ofset the cost of the insurance pay out when people wreck their vehicles. It wouldnt surpfise me if there was a rolled or rear ended DODGE there. Call them both and go take a look at what they have.
Hope this helps.
