I have seen some VERY neglected engines and have never seen one that I thought was in danger of "rotting thru" Im interested to hear how (and who) came to such a conclusion. What was it doing? Leaking fluid? Knocking? Running bad. what?
It was running terrible the engine had no ***** whatsoever and was on the verge of failure the block was getting very very very thin due to rust and an exhaust valve cracked inside the engine as well. Can't remember which cylinder though
I feel ya there. I really don't like paying inflated prices for for labor, and paying double for parts at a shop...... I *HAD* a shop that I trusted, and used on a regular basis, but, they closed...... Open on Friday, empty building on Monday....... Now I need to find another... Not an easy proposition in this day and age......
Yeah the less money to spend the better, but people can be very cruel and rude.
BM9NBA2, currently truck is still in shop right!!! So we are waiting to hear outcome from shop?
Yeah sadly it's their for the holidays at my godfathers shop in New Jersey. I'm hoping he can work on it before New years because the inspection for it expires here in PA in January so might have to go pick it up with my trailer and my Cummins if he isn't able to fix it before then. Don't want to get pulled over.
Welp looks like I'm parting it out fellas as much as I don't want to. Worked on this truck all Spring/Summer/Fall, but have had it for 6 years am getting tired of it. Time to move on to a different vehicle next to my 1st gen
