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 . 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 ****** 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!

I guess that depends on your state, in NY any vehicle with under 100K that sold for 1500 or more is covered by lemon law.
