Default Akk Someone dont want me to own a truck

Ok, As some of you know, my Ram blew up bad, and commited suicide.. So, I finally got another truck, though not a dodge.. shh.. Anyway, Now the motor is toast in it.. The little 2.5 in my S10 went sideways on me.. I knew it was only a matter of time, but I thought it would at least get me through the winter.. nope.. I really need those pimp my ride guys to help me out.. haha.. I dont know what this is going to cost me, but it will be considerably less than I had wrapped up in that Dodge.. Anyway... Sigh...

well, money is an issue for me big time... So it would have to be another 2.5l 4 banger.. Cheapest easiest solution.. But, whileI'm waiting for a motor to materialize, I will hopefuly soon tear into the motor init, and see how bad it is.. but it went.. it's load, overheating, wont go over 45, so, I dunno.. We'll see when I can get it tore down..

Well that sucks, from what I know from your Dodge truck repair experience, atleast try to get it fixed this time by someone that has two arms

Title says it all on this one. That sucks but hey no better time to start with a fresh motor. I just hope for you that nothing else goes wrong and you keep that truck running and pass it off to your kids and they do the same. Good luck and god bless.

Ever think of just carpooling and riding a bike? Sorry, but that seriously does suck. Ive had my share of stuff break on my truck, and its always wen the wallets empty! I wish you luck in finding a new motor
