I was looking at some trucks in Truck Paper and was curious to find out what the avg. going rate was for an in frame rebuild. Now, I know it depends on the engine make and model, locale, various labor rates. I've been in the automotive industry for years, and understand all of those things, lol.

Also, has anyone tackled this job themselves, either as a pro diesel tech or backyard mechanic? What parts are typical to replace on an in frame, or come in a kit? What did it run you for parts? How long did it take to do? Did you replace any other parts "while you were at it" just to be safe? Any thing I missed?

Thanks!
