I happen to have some knowledge of these engines, in the past 2 weeks I have put 4 sleeves in the blocks that have came through my machine shop do to them cracking. Now they also do not offer a oversize piston for this engine but only repair sleeves so the cost of an engine overhaul is quite expensive as is all repairs with a cat engine. I can tell you this much if you can find one with a 8.3 ISC cummins in it you will be much happier with the power and fuel mileage. Plus they are somewhat affordable to work on an pretty straight forward. Happy hunting if you have anymore questions feel free to give me a shout at the shop 574-583-2888.
