I need a new 3.0!!
Well Im pretty sure it crapped out on me. Weird ticking noise, low oil pressure. all that stuff at 140000. Can anyone recommend a good place to get a long block at a reasonable price? Thanks.

I cant recommend a place to get an engine, but what i wanted to say is that a tick sound and what you think may be low oil pressure is not enough in my book to proclaim that you need a long block. Can there be another issue there that a simple, cheaper fix might help with? More info would be good.

The supply of good 3.0L engines is quite short so be prepared to shell out $2K+ on average.

Its a pretty heavy ticking, it in time with rpms. Im not gonna shell out the cash before I pull I just want to be prepared for the worst. We are gonna try and pull it this weekend to make sure. Ive heard a theory that the flex plate can crack or break and creat this noise, any theories? Ive also had a couple of mechs check it out and there opinion is that its gone. Thats based mostly on the noise though. one even told me it could be a wrist pin. I had the HG update done about 6 or 8 months ago, could they have done anything to cause a snafu?

That will help greatly on the diagnosis.
BTW, it looks like this and they are about $15-20
