Motors junk please help
well guys my dodge is going and it aint going to get any better, i have a 99 ram sport 5.2 with 66,000 miles and all of the places i took it to (about 10 becasue i didnt belive it) they sad i had a lower end motor knock upon cold start up and it goes 60% away in appox. 8-10 mins. sadly i can't sell my truck likie this and i was going to. im pissed i bought the truck 7 months ago for 10,000 dollars! now for money reasons i couldnt afford it BUT i cant sell it with that. my question is, is there a temporary fix i could do so the motor is not as loud. i know its wrong but its just busniess i cant take a big loss on this and i dont have the money to rebuild

Motor Honey/Engine Honey, I believe it's called...should quiet it up for a bit. I wouldn't feel bad doing this...anyone that is researching a vehicle can ask for an oil sample and send it out if they wanted to...trouble is, most don't know they can do that...it's the same as someone getting ripped off since they didn't look at KBB/NADA values and end up paying too much...it's their own fault in my opinion...the tools are there for the using, so they can't b!tch when they don't use those tools

ehh.Knowingly doctoring up something to sell it is rotten and low down.Did you know regardless if it is ASIS,You sell a car or truck to someone that you doctored up for resale,It breaks,And it ends up hurting them in someway you can get sued and you will most likely lose?Now quieting down an engine for resale most likely will not hurt anyone.But its unfortunate that it happened to you.But again maybe you didnt change your oil or you beat it.Now the next guy who might be unknowing is going to be scammed out of his hard earned cash too.Do the right thing man.

Anyone with any common sense looking to spend big $ on a vehicle that they have no idea how it was driven/maintained/etc. should know better...caveat emptor, let the buyer beware, it's a used vehicle and should be looked at with caution...use Carfax, use KBB/NADA, use the oil sample kits, and ask questions...it is fraud if the seller is asked "Does or has the engine knocked?" and is told no. If it's not asked, there's no legal basis for a lawsuit, bottom line.

It's not rotten and lowdown to me...that "knock" could do that for another 50,000 miles with no harm, no foul...look at the 3.1 GM engines with their piston slap...anyone that's heard it before thinks the engine is about to let go...but nothing happens...had a piston slap in the T/A 5.7...got the car at 18,000 miles and it never changed when I traded it in for my truck at 47,000 miles...had a regular customer at my previous employer with an old-a$$ Shadow 3.0...had one of the most horrendus rod knocks I've ever heard...we saw them several times a year for LOF and maintenance stuff...noise didn't change in the 5 years I was there.

Thats why you are you and I am who I am.I wouldnt do it.Not everyone buying a truck has mechanical knowhow.Maybe a girl or an older gent whom never worked on a car in there life buys it.Is it justified that they get stuck with it because of lack of knowledge??
