Almost just have some little things to do. Fluid, linkages, driveshafts and build the new exhaust and put in the electric lift pump.

Are they made in the USA, or is this company just a dealer/distributor? I would make sure it is us made! When I had to put a head on my truck, our auto parts dealer told us about a head they could get that was around $450, but it was made in china. Either way, $450 seems pretty cheap for all that iron! I would rather rip one off another truck, like i did, than buy one from china. I had chinese rotors for a while, and they just warped after a few thousand miles. My original ones lasted 300,000! Just my .02!

The thing is, is that even if you go to cummins and buy a genuine cummins part, it may have been cast in china.

I can tell you 100% it is not chinese. If it was there was no way I was going to put it on my truck. Why don't you call them and ask instead of having everyone guessing where it is made they will tell you.

Keep it on topic.

Oh, and mind your language, too. "G" rated is the standard here.

As you were.

Called them, all that I could get out of them was the sales pitch. Couldn't get them to give me a straight answer..Oh well.. If the head holds up, its still a good price.
