Considering a 2016 fe350s and looking into the maintenance schedule. Looks like they need a pretty significant overhaul at 70hrs and then again at 135hours. Including piston change, rebuild head, replace connecting rod and crank pin, replace suction pump, change all engine bearings, and a freewheel change at 135hrs. Does anyone know the cost to have all the service done at the dealer? How about cost of parts if I chose to do it myself?

Hi everyone,
As you all know, Coffee (Dean) passed away a couple of years ago. I am Dean's ex-wife's husband and happen to have spent my career in tech. Over the years, I occasionally helped Dean with various tech issues.
When he passed, I worked with his kids to gather the necessary credentials to keep this site running. Since then (and for however long they worked with Coffee), Woodschick and Dirtdame have been maintaining the site and covering the costs. Without their hard work and financial support, CafeHusky would have been lost.
Over the past couple of weeks, I’ve been working to migrate the site to a free cloud compute instance so that Woodschick and Dirtdame no longer have to fund it. At the same time, I’ve updated the site to a current version of XenForo (the discussion software it runs on). The previous version was outdated and no longer supported.
Unfortunately, the new software version doesn’t support importing the old site’s styles, so for now, you’ll see the XenForo default style. This may change over time.
Coffee didn’t document the work he did on the site, so I’ve been digging through the old setup to understand how everything was running. There may still be things I’ve missed. One known issue is that email functionality is not yet working on the new site, but I hope to resolve this over time.
Thanks for your patience and support!
FE/FC Cost for 70hr and 135hr service and parts?

No on costs but going by the maintenance schedule isn't always realistic. My yami yz450 says complete top end at like 7-10 hours I think. So unrealistic, I wouldn't worry about rebuilds as much as frequent oil changes and general maintenance stuff vs actual tear down and rebuild like manual says. I know plenty of people putting well over 200 hours on their 450's and other than a bit of compression loss they run great.

Is it new? If its used then you have to take a chance on what the previous owner did or didnt do. I never go by manual either. You have to know your bike, your maintenance dedication or lack of, how hard you ride the bike, some other small stuff that will drastically determine when you should rebuild.
