still don't see why you don't get a used motor and slap it in there?

Man, you ought to sell me the mirrors and headlights before you get rid of it. Probably get more money parting it out, than selling as a non-running truck. I am sure there's some good parts on it that people need.

$21k to get it back.on the road though....I don't know what all it needs, but I would be finding a different place to take it.

I'm probably just gonna sell the whole truck and let someone else part it out. Cause aint nobody got time fo dat! What do yall think its worth?

What do you want for the truck, minus the engine and trans?

Cowboy Troy · Apr 24, 2013

After a year and a longgggg series of events........

I drove the truck home today from the dealer! They ended up putting a good used motor in it for me and a brand new tourqe converter. It runs and drives good! I'm having new tires put on it as I'm typing this!

This went from being the cheapest 6.0 to the most expensive one...

Look at that beauty! Just needs a leveling kit now.

Did you get studs put in while it was out?

Cowboy Troy · May 10, 2013

Nope the tech wouldn't do any of that... He almost sh** when he saw the intake manifold didnt have a egr when i took the old motor to him.

the tech is a moron.

Cowboy Troy · May 18, 2013

Yeah he is! The truck is going back to them on Monday because it is hard to start now (i have to cycle the key twice and crank it 2-3 times for it to start) and was loosing oil pressure on the instrument cluster. When it would flat line the oil pressure I'd pop the throttle and it would come back up.

Any ideas if its the low oil pressure pump going out or what??
