Do not have the dealership do a rebuild unless it was their fault with what they did.
My last engine that I toasted was on my 02.
I took out a piston and lifted the head so I did a in frame rebuild.
I put stronger valve train parts, Can, Fire-Ring the head new pistons and the crank was still good plus a new turbo and manifold, bigger built injection pump.
This cost me 9k and I know that sounds like alot.
Dealership wanted about 13k for a stock rebuilt motor.
I took it to a well know cummins diesel performance shop.
Whatever cost it will take to fix will be far cheaper than paying out 5-600 a month for a new payment.
post up what they said is wrong with it.
Let us know on here.
Remember they told you nothing was wrong with it except a injector and timing.
I'm sure you didn't get a chance to pop open and see what the oil looked like if it was milky color (head gasket failure) or oil in the coolant.
The sound to me still sounded top half valve, push rod, but I'm challenged with sound at times because all the years in the Marines.
Also where do you live at?
Maybe I know a good diesel shop close.
