I was in bad need of a 3406E Cat engine, and found this company, it sounded like a good deal. They said they would have the engine here in 2 weeks. After tons of phone calls and 4 months later, the engine finally showed up in the back of a reefer leaning against the wall in a wooden crate. (3300 pounds in a wooden crate?) The engine had a bunch of damaged parts, no where near meeting the VIN number specs of the motor we had ordered.
We needed this truck running for harvest, and actually ended up having to rent a truck while I took of most of the old parts on the old engine and replacing them on this one. Worked on the engine a week or so, got engine installed in truck and it wouldn't run. The ECM was not programmed for this application and was showing 1.6 million miles on it. I had to replace all sensors, ECM, (had to get it reflashed), new wiring harness, oil cooler and leaking exhaust gaskets, plus a bunch of other small repairs.
