Curious. Is it a brand new off the assembly line no miles new engine, or a remanufactured one? Thanks.

Brand new engine out of the box.

That's interesting. On the invoice picture that you posted, one line said, "REMAN DIESEL E...." I was assuming that the line refers to a re-manufactured engine.

Shop foreman stated 'brand new engine' I guess that has several meanings. Looking at engine all components appear to brand new and certainly look new. Maybe block is remanufactured and all other components new? When I saw dealer pricing on paperwork they were at 39k total job w/Engine at 33k. Either way I came out ahead w/a GL at 78,5k miles and a new engine that runs 100% better than previous with a 48mo/50k mile warranty however that warranty will be superseded by my extended warranty with the miles I drive. I will see where I am at when my extended warranty is at experation and go from there. Thanks for pointing this out.

Holy crap! That's scary, though the outcome was good. One very large caliber bullet dodged.

This whole ordeal is due to mechanics not correctly fixing another problem in the past, right?

You are correct, bad repair created the issue.
