Thanks for the replies guys,
I also have heard the remanufactured engines can be crap, just hoping to hear some good news.
I should have pointed out this truck has the 300 six, and they havnt made them for eight or ten years, making a good used one pretty unlikely.
In any case I would either junk it or go new parts, I dont want some elses headache.
A rebuild is out ,as it had an
oil pump failure at speed on the freeway . The driver had the stereo blasting and didnt notice anything wrong until all hell broke loose.
So its either ,a reman at about 2500 installed or .......27,000 for a nur'n
I'll see what jasper has to offer....
