The motor in my 2016 ford f650 6.7 with air brakes the cp4 locked up and slipped the gear on the crank and took out the valve train on both heads.
I need a motor and where my truck has air brakes the block is different than f250 to f550 or even with f650 and f750 with hydraulic brakes to mount the air compressor to it. 2016 and 2017 f650 or f750 with air brakes is the only years that will work according to jasper engines.

Nobody has one that i can find that will work in my truck.

I have been calling engine shops to build mine because nobody has the block like i need so i have to send them mine to build. Here is a few company's i have talked to let me know if you have had any dealing with these company's good or bad. Or know of a good engine shop?

Jaspers said it will 10 to 12 weeks turn around 3 year warranty unlimited miles Not sure on the up grades they do the engine . Will have another talk to them about that. Roughly $10000.00 to build a long block.

Killdevil diesel talked to them the have a few different levels offered around $12000.00 for a long block they said it would be at least 6 week turn around depending on my motor.

Choate Engineering Performance They have a work engine package deal that has all the problems worked out {they say} i like it is going to be about $19000.00 for a long block about 6 week turn around.

Choate or killdevil has a 5 year and 100000 mile warranty cant remember will have to recheck them.

I plan to keep this truck till i retire in several years i put around 25000 a year on the truck also going to pull the trans and put a new one in at the same time Already have the DEF redone and put a new rearend in about 500 miles ago new turbo about 700 mile ago have a new S&S DCR pump kit to replace the cp4 pump $2000.00 for it I have put about $20,000.00 in this truck this year already I like to keep my trucks in good shape so i don't have to worry much about it on the road.
But it is paid for and in good shape all around. I priced a new truck like it and is $180.000.00 + new.
So i going to put about another $25,000.00 in it and i should have about new truck then that should last as long as me i hope.
Looked and used truck and they keep telling me i going to buy someone's else's problems so i will keep mine and fix it .

The cause of all this problem is because Ford used a pressed-on gear on the crank and didn't put a keyway to hold it from slipping when the junk cp4 pump locked up and took out the whole engine...

All input is greatly appreciated.

If i put this in the wrong thread please move it to the right one.

I know quite a few people that have used J&K engines out of Tennessee and loved there work. They done a few 6.4's and 6.0s for the people I know but im betting they also do 6.7
 
Asheville engine does a lot of Power Stroke stuff.I realize its probably gonna be light truck engines but it might be worth a call.
 
Called and talked to J&K they quoted me right at $.12000.00 for stock engine with head studs and welded crank. and about 6 week turn around.
Cant get Ashville engine to answer the phone and their message line is full cant leave a call back number will try again in a bit. Thanks.

How long have they been running J&K engines? Miles? They only offer a 1 year warranty unlimited miles about 6 week turn around. I put around 25 to 30 thousand mile a year on this truck and i need it to last at least 7 or 8 years till i retire or die first.

Choate has a 5 year 100000 mile warranty cost about 19000.00 6 week turn around.

Jasper has 3 year unlimited milage 9000.00 bad part it is a 3 month turn around.

to me the welded crank thing is a non starter.....but maybe Ive watched too many Pakistani truck videos. :laughing:

they tig weld the timing gear to the crank so it wont slip like it did in my motor and take out the valve train and possibly. the heads and pistons. Never less it has to be a total rebuilt because of the timing gear slipped on crank when the cp4 pump locked up on my engine. They have to replace the crank because of the gear slip. That is why i want the crank gear tig welded to maybe save the engine next time.

the first guy I know that used them had a 6.4 dually that died at 120k. he travels all over the east coast installing job site decking. last I saw that truck it has over 400k on it without a single problem. The other couple of guys I know that used them got there 6.0s rebuilt. years ago. The guy with the 6.4 was probably 6-8 +/- years ago. The 6.0's were all within the last 3-4 years. All have been happy with the results.
