For those of you that remember my 07 5.9 threw a rod a while back. The latest status is that the builder finally found a buildable core and it will be back from the machine shop this week and they should have it all put together and shipped this week hopefully. The shop that is putting it in said it would take them a week once they get it. So 2-3 weeks I should be back on the road.

Sweet! Like your 5er in your signature :-).

This is very good news indeed! Keep an eye on fluid levels and check for leaks often. I hope that your new engine is good to you!Cheers!Mike

Any idea what happened to your engine?

Sure is we would have been in TN or OH by now visiting family however given the weather it may have been a blessing on some strange way.

Ain't that the truth... I'll stick with Texas weather year round. :B

Good luck...
