Where to buy rebuilt detroit 60 12.7

Vanderhaag's maybe

 

There's a bunch on eBay,last time I looked there had to be 30 or 40,a lot of takeouts,warranted,all different models and conditions.

 

If you get one from Fitzgerald’s, make certain they didn’t build it. Many aftermarket parts in their rebuilds that are well known in Detroit repair shops to fail prematurely. The ones they put in their gliders that Clarke or someone else built outside of Fitzgerald’s facility, supposedly have OEM Detroit parts.

 

Vanderhaags in Altoona Iowa sells them,they also sell rebuild kits made by Interstate Mcbee which is same liners as Detroit kit. The gaskets are low grade but but the gaskets from Detroit dealer and rebuild one.

 

What’s you’re location op?

 

If your in Tn, Know a good shop in West Tn. Guy will do you right. He rebuilds a lot of the Detroit 60's. Plus Cat and Cummins. Unless your block is bad. He had a good low miles 12.7 for sale a while back. But guy picked the complete engine up. Get this $4200. It was a 2001 model. Guy paid to have a 99 put in its place.

 

Best rebuilders in the country, I own one of their motors,

American Fleet, Inc. | Detroit Diesel sales and service.

 

How much money do you have?
I would go the reman route for sure.
I hope it's a nice truck because your going to have 38k plus just in the motor.
I hope you learned to take it to detroit or other oem and rebuild it right with warranty next time.
Another truck might be better way to go now.
Best luck
