I just got a 360 magnum out of a 98 dodge 3/4 ton for a 6 pack of bud.

 

Wow, can you get another one? I figure the price of shipping and a case of beer would make for a pretty good deal! :P

Good find dude!!! That truck is getting better everyday.

 

Lol....no actually my yard is gathering things that will make my truck better eventually.

 

A WHOLE 6-pack for the motor? Uumph, you should have got the whole truck for that. J/K. 'bout time I come up on a steal of a deal like that.

 

LOL, good point... let me rephrase. That truck is getting potentially better every day!! :P

 

That is a great deal. Heck you should have bought him a case or two.

 

and maybe you could have walked away with the hole truck

 

There aint nothing else on the truck worth having, and Ive got enough parts trucks in front of my house already.

Ok fellas, so heres a question for ya. Im gonna strip this thing apart and rebuild it over the winter and install it early next spring. I can get a full rebuild kit for around 500 maybe less. Would it be worth the money to have the cylinders bored? If so should I do .30, .40, or .60 and why?

 

Go all out and go .060!!! Na JK Well I guess what are your plans for the truck? Daily Driver? or just crazy offroader with those axles and drivetrain? If DD just go with .020. If just crazy offoader go with .060. Also the 5.9 heads are prone to cracking. So I would say take it to a shop and have them inspected and replace seals while they are at it. A quick block and head deck is good. A good maximum number is .030 to keep everything all good.

 

Its actually going to be both. I dont own a trailer, so it aint getting trailered anywhere. If it goes, it drives there. I just want a good, strong, reliable motor that puts out fair power without costing me 5000 bucks.
