has anyone dealt with them?

I'd like to hear from someone that has run one of thier motors. Seems like the price+free shipping is too good.

thanks,
Drew

I've used a few of their gas engines and they seem to run just fine. No diesels though.

I spoke with them and they say they use Mahl pistons,Felpro gaskets,Clevite friction parts(bearings,lifters,etc) and best of all they said they sleeve all 8 holes on all 7.3L rebuilds.

Here ya Go.7.3L N/T $3000
again,6.9L $3000
7.3L K code!$3000 but I think that might be a typo.They quoted me $3400

 

[Freight_Train]

I think they do sleeve them since the other diesels don't mention it.Just the International 7.3L IDI.

 

[DeepRoots]

thanks for the input. I figure I couldn't rebuild mine sleeved and all for $3k
probably have less than a year on this motor, barring any major immediate issues.

Prices are comparible to DAS-$3300http://www.dieselautoservices.com/gold-ford.html. With what DAS does to the heads, I'd rather go there

 

[dsblack]

I have been very happy with my DAS engine.

 

[Freight_Train]

yea but with a DAS you gotta pay shipping both ways.that was an extra 1600 bucks right there when I contacted them.

 

[dsblack]

ya,
I live close eneough, we just took a weekend and went up and got it. Still like the engine, but you do have to figure in ALL of the costs to get it in the truck!
I did not think about the shipping costs.

 

[Freight_Train]

will say if DAS did the same Free Shipping both ways I would hands down pay the extra 200 bucks for them just cause their Reputation.

 

[Freight_Train]

oh,Promar does have a better warrentee.3 year 75,000 Miles standard.

 

[Exekiel69]

What about road master ? I onli know of one member here that bought the engine from them.

Think I'd buy the 6.9 from promar, then not have to worry about the cavitation issues, but you might have head gasket issues later with the 6.9 depending on what they do to them. I wouldn't hesitate to buy a sleeved 7.3 from a reputable dealer either. Good luck whatever you do.
