Well, I am well aware of how
Well, I am well aware of how much new trucks do cost today. And I would agree that there are cases where swapping an engine in one would make sense. However, I would have to ask why did this high end expensive truck wind up for sale needing a new or remanufactured engine? What happened with its previous owner to bring it to this condition? Can I expect other problems to manifest due to the previous owner abused the truck or failed to do any maintenance on it? Did someone without skills or expertise do some jerry-rigging that has not fallen apart yet? There are always exceptions, but the message to the reader is to be aware and to hire a trusted mechanic to help you reach a buying decision. My experience is that many people are under the assumption that just by replacing an engine all of their problems will go away. As the videos attest to---this is a poor assumption.
