He's talking about the outfit, International Diesel, in Ronkonkoma, NY...not the foundry.

I didn't see the IH Logo... Why are you so sure this is not a counterfit? Also, if International Diesel cannot buy blocks from AMG/GEP, where do you think they get them from? If they are selling them on the cheap, it is unlikely they are buying them from legitimate vendors, so...

Again EVERBODY this was a complete GEP/AM General Built Engine, bought thru International Diesel out of NEW York. Complete longblock assembly, had a delco filter on it, all the nice little paint marker stripes over the plugs and bolts, plastic plug caps in all of the injector holes, and It came with diffrent motor mount bolts and bellhousing bolts also, + new motor mount clams and the instructions to boot for the new bolt kit. Plus if you look at the pic of my nice dirty gravel road covered engine, you notice a paper tag that is still sticking to the head and block? Not readable but it is there. Sorry about NOT having a pic of the Navistar logo, the Pump was still on the block and could not get a pic of it when (the pump) it was on and when I had the camera out. Geez do I have to bring the block by your house so you can look at it there? Date code is also in the pics I posted in the photo album. What dont you people believe? Oh it also has the larger oil coooler fittings needed near the oil filter boss.

Does this mean December 17, 2003?

It's sort of like this:
I tell you I have a Snap-on wrench and it's a POS because it broke while I was trying to take a nut off. I called the Snap-on factory and they told me I had to contact the guy who sold it to me. The guy who sold it to me is not an authorized Snap-on dealer, but he sold it to me for less than an authorized dealer would have, so I bought it. He's telling me to pound sand. Good luck getting a decent wrench from Snap-on!
This raises the following questions:
How did the unauthorized seller obtain a Snap-on wrench? How is he able to sell it for less than an authorized dealer who bought direct? Could my wrench be a factory reject that should have been destroyed? A used wrench replaced on warranty? Stolen? A Chinese knockoff?
My guess is I got schnookered by the seller and if I can't get anything from him, that's the price of a low ball price. Next time I'll buy my wrenches from Harbor Freight. Not Snap-on, but still a lifetime warranty...
