Don't you quit on all of us now you're so close everyone here has been waiting to see this thing done now get back to it you wouldn't want to let all of dodge forum down would you? Haha but seriously you're so close why quit now?

 

Yeah i don't have the time or the money to keep throwing at it. Talked to about ten different machine Shops today they all said in order to fix the bolt I need to pull my crank out and bring it in and they still want $300 to remove it and rethread the crank. That's a ton of work i would have to buy an engine stand They run right about 150 to 200 I just can't justify the money with a new baby on the way. It kills me but it is for Sale. Had two guys call me today one offered me two crappy guns and 2k for it the other wanted to make payments. I told them both I was going to pass. Sorry guys I failed It sucks but family comes first.

 

Well it sucks to see that you are selling it now. I would've loved to see a 2nd gen ram running with a hemi before I start my swap. (Hopefully starting mine in the next month or so). But I do understand when you say family comes first. Congrats on the baby by the way. My girlfriend and I have our first one due in march

 

Just buy his and finish it....

 

Then he can ask for the DodgeForum Discount

 

If it wasn't so far away then I'd definitely consider it since I have 2 hemi engines sitting in my garage right now. Arizona is to far for me since I'm up in ontario Canada.

 

If he wasn't so far away I'd go show him how to get that bolt out , clean the threads and put a new bolt in it so he could put it back together...

 

You got a mum frickin Deal on that motor , I think I'd be talking to whoever sold it about some kind of money back , or he can pay for it to be fixed.... I assure you something would have to be done about it..You've put "WAY" too much work into that truck for it not to run , and It's not because of anything you did , "Except" cross threading that bolt... I think something was wrong with it from the beginning and it should be made right.. Maybe you can try again later ..Next time you buy a Motor make dam sure you get some kind of warranty .. Live and learn Bro.. I wish you luck selling it , and I hope this don't turn you around on Dodges.. I've put 40k on mine since transplant , with minor problems caused by my 02 wiring... I Wish you could experience the same feeling .. lack of commitment and dedication was not the reason for your truck not running "That's for Sure"...

 

Sorry to hear you are throwing in the towel. Good luck in the future and with the family.

 

Hey DDIRI, well if you need a hand or advice I could help, you never know... its possible taping it out with out removing it, or removing just the crank from the bottom. So if you need some help let me know im in Tempe..
