blew my engine...what to do?
I just bought my 2006 dodge mega cab a little over two months ago, just the other day drove it ten miles to unload somethings for my wife. then i started it back up drove it about 1/2 mile while i was accelerating blew the number 2 piston, bent a rod, 4 valves are stuck, and injector is bad :argh: . Took it to the diesel shop in town which happened to be just across the highway from where my truck blew its engine. They told me to just put in a new engine. I found a place that will put in a reman. with everything new on it along with new head studs and rods for $14,500 installed. Is this a good price? Don't know much about a reman. engine either. Any input is appreciated. Thanks

There's a nice 06 engine on ebay for 6k snatch it up and put it in! If you were closer I would put it in! 14,500 is a joke! you can buy an 06 for that THE WHOLE TRUCK!
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- And it has no warranty just two months ago?! |
I didnt get the extended warranty... i know dumb on my part. been screwed over in the past by them. should have got it.
|
Most dealers have at least a three month 3000 mile warranty? A tail light warranty is real shady!
---AutoMerged DoublePost--- Get a lawyer Lemon law there? |
It's a 6year old truck. By no means would that be covered by lemon law.
To the op, I would look for a used engine. But for a complete crate cr Motor with install, that sounds about right. Because you wont have a core motor, so thats where the extra money comes from. |
id say to look around for awhile i can get new replacment engines for a CR for like 3600$ but i dont know what all that includes. pm me if u want this places number.

Injector went bad. The shop said there wasnt any reason to tear down any further. The reman. engine i found that was 14,500 is the final price with everything new and a edge insight monitor, mbrp turboback exhaust, arp head studs, 12 valve rods. and i will have a warranty.

You going to part out the old engine?
