Damn it!
Yesterday coming home from Seattle, just cruising along at 65 mph, my PMR's decided to take a peek into the outside world.
Everyone told me it probably would happen, and it finally did. I'm pissed, but I can't blame anyone but myself.
So, I'm at a delima. The truck is listed in the sig. It has 140k on the clock, lifted, tinted windows, alarm, lockers, stereo, dvd player, matching canopy..... all the goodies. Do I fix the motor with a wrecking yard motor and put all my engine goodies on it? Do I rebuild a core motor? Sell the truck as it sits?
I just don't know. Don't really have the $$$ to build a new engine and don't want to really sell my baby. I love driving this thing and it's set up how I want it.
So, does anyone have any suggestions? Anywhere in the Portland area that is a good diesel rebuilder? Anyone have a used running engine to sell or a good core motor?
I heard people say rebuild it myself. I'm pretty mechanically inclined, but never rebuilt a diesel. Don't want to spend the $$ to have it blow up in 5k miles.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
