If I could rate this company any lower I would. I recently had a Dodge 3500 5.9L Cummins engine replaced at over $7,700.00. I flew down from Colorado to drive this truck back after the rebuild job was finished. On my way back I noticed that it was leaking antifreeze from a heater hose. After getting back to Colorado I checked the oil levels and noticed that it was a gallon low. Come to find out it was leaking out around the dipstick tubule due to a faulty O-ring seal. Not even 3,000 miles later the flex plate tore out of the center and damaged the torque converter. At 3500 miles I had it serviced for an oil change. The technician informed me that the oil plug on the drain pan wasn't fastened securely and had it not been magnetized it would have vibrated off. At around 3,800 miles the harmonic balancer pulley completely fell off with 1 of the bolts missing and the other 3 were completely sheared off in the crankshaft due to being improperly torqued. I have contacted the owner of this company in regards to these issues on a new remanufactured engine and was met with a very unfriendly reply. The owner Barry claimed it wasn't any fault of his own and aside from his incessant cussing was not willing to remedy the issue. He was incredibly rude and could not admit to the faulty job his company had done on my engine. The flex plate is the backbone of the motor and handles the torque from the engine before it goes through the torque converter and transmission. Barry claimed the flex plate has nothing to do with handling torque and that the transmission alone was the backbone of the engine, which made me realize he has absolutely no idea how these engines and their components work. His son Brody, had requested for me to bring it back to them which was over 800 miles away and they would only replace the O-ring on the dipstick, instead of allowing me to bring it to a local shop and have them reimburse the cost of repairs. read more
