Should i sell or rebuild?
 

I have a 2001 dodge 3500 4x4 with 164000 miles. Its all stock. Except straight piped 3" I have replaced head gasket, studs, put used vacum pump, lift pump, used injection pump tho its a remaned. I did a little work to the rear end myself. Didnt put any new parts in it. My hydrobooster recently started pouring power steering fluid. And just the other day i noticed my block is cracked on the passenger side. Cracked good. Its not gettin hot just losing a little water. The truck holds a lot of sentimental value to me. My question is should i sell the truck or get another motor and put in it? If i sell it what would it even be worth? And id get another one pretty close to it. Found a 98 24v for sell i liked. But would be pretty devastated to have to sell mine.

Anyone have an opinion

If the truck means a lot to you I would drive it till the motor dies then replace it. Unless you are looking at getting something newer I would drive it till she cant go anymore.

Drive it, run it, kill it, fix it! If you like he truck then keep it, if it holds value do not get rid of it, you may regret it. These engines are not very tricky, anybody that takes there time can built one! :tu:

Even the newer trucks have problems. You could sell your truck but if you were honest to the new buyer about the problems he would ether not buy or low ball you. Personally if my Dodge/Cummins had a cracked block I would find a engine for it. JMO..Good luck.
