5.9L 6TB cummins 12v, Crankshaft

where to find replacement, in so cal
cummins appears to be back ordered
many weeks lead time for crank or short block

checked the web, parts numbers and prices way to numerous and wide spread for me to find the correct item
and most of them out of the area

  • Sorry to hear about this Wiz. Hope they get you back on the road soon.
  • Hate to hear of the additional problems.

    Are they related to the problems experienced last year?
  • getting new head, new turbo, new crank
    lead time for another engine thru cummins is 7 weeks
    they got their act together and a new crank is being shipped from Columbus Indiana

    now its just wait for it to be put back together
  • Is this the same engine that overheated about this time last year? If it is, I think that I would be looking for a good used takeout to replace it.

    Sorry for your bad luck.
  • I don't know about socal but try Sheid. They are the super cummins builder.
