I'd be surprised if Cummins NW doesn't carry similar insurance.

That was my thought as well Bruce. Whether they are insured or not, I think they want this problem to go away with a satisfied long-term customer.

PSneed, I don't know how much he could tell. On 4 of the cylinders there was a LOT of debris on the injectors as well as the top of the cylinder. Also the tops of 4 of the pistons were badly pitted. Not being a mechanic, I don't know the significance of that, but as he looked at each his face got less and less happy and more and more serious.
