Do not buy from
Bought their 6.3L "stroker" - $25,000
They installed - they're not reputable good faith business people
Spent $10,000++++ at other shops attempting to diagnose reverse engineer & fix their defective engine & slipshod install
Jack their owner & staff are disrespectful unprofessional dishonest slippery business people
Go to DFC Diesel or Choate Engines
Or other reputable diesel engine remanufactures who offer 5 year 100,000 mile warranties & stand by their build reputation & respect their customers & their money time & investment
Engine is a total loss
I stand by every word. Bought J&K's most expensive engine & they installed. The spec'd every part. Everything brand new in shrink wrap. Engine only has little over 8000 miles on it. Choate, DFC & other engines provide 5 year/100,000 mile warranty on their engines. Jack Cammaratta afraid, unwilling to stand behind his product & his employees' work? Integrity? Former Eagle Scout & active duty Army Officer--I'll put my word before Jack Cammaratta any day any year at any time---in fact I have--filed law suit against J&K today. Jack Cammaratta calling someone else a bully? LoL.....that's ironic. This is one person who isn't getting rolled by Jack. Jack is getting the full Jack treatment. I have scores & scores of emails with him. Been to 6 diesel shops in Colorado & Wyoming. They know everything. They know the BS, unprofessionalism & disrespect of Jack & his team. No worries Jack.......I'm playing the long game. You can spend money on attorneys & loss of revenue & all else coming your way---or you can make your customers whole.
BTW - I was not banned from multiple platforms - more lies from Jack Cammaratta. I shared my experience on all the engine defects on a Powerstroke forum yesterday - & Jack had me banned as he attempted to silence bully & lie - framing his false narrative where he deflects projects & does anything but take ownership for his engine build & installation
Jack needs a mirror for some introspection
That might be too big a word for him to understand or process
But Jack can't silence me with courts & judges & the government or the internet
The Truth will set you free Jack
Jack is great at taking people's money
He's transactional - in the worst sense of that phrase from a sales / business perspective
He's one off
He doesn't like the age of the internet with customers' having a voice or transparency
Or government regulation or oversight
He's a 20th century model where he could operate taking cash & holding his former customers with scorn & contempt
That's okay Jack
There's that day & time when you cheat & steal from the wrong person- when the music stops on your BS
That's me Jack
Thanks for more of same Jack
Threatening email from you
Not going to be silenced cancelled or have my experience with J&K dismissed by you
I'll see you in court Jack
Hope you have your affairs & house in order - I have all my emails with you, Anthony & your staff
For the diesel world out there
Prospective buyers
Past customers
6 different shops have gone through engine & build
Latest? Recurrent major main seal oil leak that resurfaces immediately after changing seal
Crankshaft issue on his hybrid machined 6.0L / 6.3L J&K "Stroker".
8000 miles on engine excluding 700 miles J&K "test" drove my truck
Extra parts? They installed side mirrors (brand new). Rest? Anthony-Jack's son - designed entire build from KC Turbo 1.5T to 155/30 Full Force Injectors to Sinister Diesel Charge pipes & eye candy. All brand new. Every last part in engine was brand new - from alternator, starter, glow plug control module, FICM, radiator.
All purchased through J&K or direct from OE in shrink wrap
The only part that Jack objected to was the S.D. Exhaust Manifold as he had failure in previous recent build
So I purchased BD Diesel Exhaust Manifold they approved of (incidentally this wasn't installed properly by them - bolts not torqued down as with at least one of the injectors)
Every hose, gasket, clamp, seal, bolt was brand new for their build read more
