Update: The 10-14 day turn around for Stewart Stevenson has long ago come and gone. The first major delay was back order on reman heads until Aug 14. One came in Aug 13. As of yesterday, DD e-mailed Stewart Stevenson that they had no idea when they could provide the 2nd head. (not 2 weeks to a month, NO idea when if ever). Stewart Stevenson is going to rebuild the old head at their facility in Wichita Falls. Not sure why this wasn't done a month ago. They are still waiting on parts to rebuild the head though. The warranty will be just like reman 1 yr parts & labor. I asked if the warranty is really worth anything though as they can't get parts when I'm being billed for them, why would I think they would be faster when they are paying for them. It looks like we MAY have coach back running by mid September now. Unless something drastically different occurs between now & then, I will NEVER get another 8V92 rebuilt by a DD distributor. El Paso did say they would do in & out labor on an engine I purchased somewhere else. I was leaning towards PC Industries in Afton, WY but decided to let Stewart & Stevenson keep it in house since promised turn around was the same. NEVER again. DD should have the courtesy to tell us old 2 stroke owners they are no longer supporting the platform. At least Microsoft is upfront in that regard re: Windows 98 & older. Also was told that Stewart & Stevenson now owns W.W. Williams DD distributor. (Maybe that explains Ron's less than stellar recent experience)
