Well looks like my 2007 5.9 Cummins to a dump and is knocking spun a rod bearing or something I think will know more later today. I am expecting that I will need a new engine. It appears that the one in there was a reman from 2008 according to the sticker on the valve cover so I am not so sure about rebuilding it. We will see. Anyone know of a good place to get another engine for a reasonable price and quality. We have a Cummins place here in El Paso however they are having trouble getting me a quote since this is a reman'd engine in there and the number they want that is on my valve cover doesn't match anything in their system.

Get your wallet ready this is going to hurt could be 8-10k depending on how many accessories are included in the rebuild (injector pump, head etc...) The number the are looking for is in the front cover, not the valve cover, it is a long (3in or so) on the side edge of the front cover looking from the drivers side at power steering and injector pump. Good luck!Bill

Thanks Bill I knew I had to get my wallet ready. Not looking forward to it but it is what it is.

I highly recommend Portland Engine Rebuilders. I've sent manny motors to them for rebuilds, and every one was a quality job, including an 5.9L 24V for one of our F650s. Full rebuild should be about $6k.http://www.portlandenginerebuilders.com/

New is not an option as the 5.9 is no longer built. Have you checked with Cummins as to the cost of a rebuilt short and long blocks?

What about a take-out from a wreck? 2004-2007 should work for that.

Jaraxle I am not willing or comfortable using a junkyard engine as I would not know the history of that engine and it's maintenance.

Don, I am almost 100% that your truck has this. You just need to look a little more. As was stated, scroll through the screens that have the engine and trans temp.

I travel a lot for work, and all the Chrysler rental cars that I have been in for the last few years have engine hours. Grand Cherokees, 300/Charger, 200, Journey. I can't imagine that your truck does not have it.

Don, my 13 only has the buttons in the steering wheel too but it has the hr meter. On mine, when you have the digital speedo in the center display, push the down arrow once. That brings up the vehicle info screen. I then push the right arrow until the hour screen comes up. It displays idle hrs, driving hrs, and total hours on mine.

CRCR your 2004.5 does have the hour meter. Turn the truck to run than push and hold the Trip reset button in for 5 seconds. Note the mileage must be showing not the trip mileage.

Don

My 2005 won't do it.;)

If you have a diesel it will ;) the trick is the milage has to be showing not the trip mileage, then press and HOLD the reset button in the dash until the hours are shown.

I stand corrected. I went out and tried it and yes it will do it. I know I've tried it before and it didn't work.:S

I have averaged 35.7 MPH. I have idled that truck a lot too. I must drive fast.....

I don't think mine has it, I have looked at every screen but can't come up with it. When she goes in for her first oil change I'll see if the dealership can find along with the exhaust temp and boost readings.
