Message: [QUOTE="drunk on diesel, post: 1222430, member: 2558"] I'd cut and run or buy a parts truck with a known good engine or something... 6.4's can definitely eat your lunch... I don't like piece-mealing them together with used parts because the rest of the stuff just fails around it like you're experiencing. I'd want a known-good running pull-out engine to put in it. The problem is, as these trucks age, those good running pull-outs get harder and harder to find :o My official recommendation would be to just cut and run. Part it out, sell it for a huge loss, etc. Just bail out on the SOB, spend time with your family while you lick your wounds, and get another truck. Everybody takes a loss now and then. I took a pretty good one earlier this year. Except I threw good money after bad... Haven't fallen into that trap many times in my life, but this one ate into me a good $20k or so... A very wise friend of mine once old me "the road to poverty is paved with pride"... That had never really rang true to me until I sat back and considered what all I went through this spring. Oh well. Live and learn. Life only has one direction... forward. I've dealt with a bunch of messed up 6.4's... I've put motors in two of them myself... And I'm telling you if I were in your position, I'd probably just cut and run at this point. [/QUOTE]
