Message: [QUOTE="backwoodsboy, post: 603908, member: 5415"] I'd try and get one out of a running (preferably low miles) truck that has been totaled. That way you can hear/see it run before buying. Plus you can practice pulling the engine on a wreck where it doesn't matter if you scrape the paint. Either that or from a reputable member/vendor on the forums. At least in my neck of the woods, junkyards are crooked as a barrel of fish-hooks and will try and pass any POS off as a running low mileage motor. Same goes for private party sales on craigslist and such. I bought what was supposed to be a low mileage running 7.3 off clist a few years back and upon removing the heads it became apparent that the truck had been hydro-locked as a result of driving into some sort of muddy water. 3 bent rods, cylinder bores/pistons/valves coated in rust and dirt.
