My 91 198K mile motor has a blown head gasket. I've thought hard the last couple days and decided to go with a re-manufactured engine. Anyone out there have a recommendation? I found a BUNCH of places most offer 3-5 year 100K warranty. Average price is about $2,000.
I figured getting another rig for 2 grand is going to be another high mileage piece of **** anyway. I got screwed on this truck paid $2500 put a TON of money and work into it. It only lasted 7 months and the motor is blown. The puke that sold it to me claimed it had 89K original. Well I found out later it really had 189k.
I simply don't have the time or patience to overhaul the motor myself in 100*+ temps we will have from now till October. I've Been looking at Rhino, Power Source and PowerPro.
