Has anyone ever heard or had the thrust bearing breaking in an '06 Cummins?
My truck has 101,000 miles on it. The dealer offered to replace the engine with a remanufactured long block if I split the cost with them. I had replaced the transmission 2 days before and the general thoughts were that the transmission shop may have put the wrong torque convertor in and caused significant pressure on the end of the crank and cuase premature failure of the thrust bearing with excessive wear. Then I would have been liable for the entire cost of the dealers repairs, $18,000 to $20,000. So I moved the truck to a different shop (Dynomite Diesel, Monroe, WA) to do all the work. This shop pulled the engine and dropped the pan and found the thrust bearing to be broken. Has anybody ever heard of this problem with only 100,000 miles on a Cummins?
