I may not see an engine from that company at all Had a back and forth with one of the supervisors yesterday. He lit into me for tracking down the correct pistons at another shop. Said they don’t buy from other shops and we should just part ways He said they did nothing wrong by quoting for an engine that they couldn’t build. It was the parts supplier that failed to have the parts Then he tells me they’ve had this problem before with this exact engine because the pistons are discontinued. They built something that was close enough and it ‘worked great’ So which is it: You didn’t know the parts were discontinued or you know all about it and already came up with a workaround? Option C: They are lying conniving thieves. Get clear of them as fast as you can. They're getting paid to do a job, regardless of where parts come from. Better yet, paid for the job to be done, as the customer wants. WTF has happened to the world today?

"Customer Service" should be a SINGLE point of contact at a business. This shit about 'please hold while I transfer you', and then having to provide your name, number, account number, and explanation of the issue to six different people is asinine.
How about the REPRESENTATIVE gets on the blower to their associate and actually resolves the fracking issue?
One would think the amount of time the COMPANY spends on the transfers and time spent in the repetition of information would justify single point contact. ( not to mention the amount of MY time you're wasting)
"Let me transfer you now".... Oh HELL no. (waggling my neck and waving my index finger) How about I transfer my foot to your colon and YOU hop to fix this shit?

Two hours of my time and some calls to the Cummins dealer (they didn't know either) I figured out what pistons are the correct replacements. Still in production, with two aftermarket companies making replacements
Part numbers have evolved in 30+ years but nobody keeps up with obsolete stuff. I'm expecting more of this
Bad omen if they are getting bogged down in the parts phase of the build 855 series? What is the CPL?

Those are tricky to source correct parts for, couple of the aftermarket options are very low quality Chinese and the guy in Pittsburgh is sketchy. Cummins 3095069 will work but raises compression and can cause problems later on if the step timing system is not addressed unless you are not pulling heavy or hard. Mahle makes OEM Cummins pistons. It can be converted away from step timing and the cooling system modified, unless you’re not overly concerned about keeping the “444” in which case you can run different pistons and set the injectors old school style. She will smoke a bit when cold but run fine just a little down on power. It is an odd monkey that was only around a couple years most shops won’t touch them as they are fairly unique in the Cummins world most are dead and gone and many techs never worked on them and even less understood them from the beginning. There is a shop out here who can convert it if you are looking for opinions. Cummins NW is useless. H&H is too now. Dirk’s can do it probably but will make you sign a waiver. I should have asked at first before rambling is this a black block or tan? Chrome rocker box covers?

Damned tractor hydraulics decided to stop working just as I really need to mow down the scotchbroom.
Quick disconnectors are sticky and can't get then uncoupled so troubleshooting is complicated.
Pump looks buried by other parts and will be a pain to remove.
