Truck wont stay running for longer than two seconds. leaking powersteering, oil, and antifreeze. bad knock, not like old truck knock, but like broken engine component knock. dont know if i should fix it, sell it as is, or part it out. Any suggestions?

Swap to 3.4..

if it was the 22re, I'd say rebuild, BUT, I see it's the 3.slow... part the motor out for what's still in working condition, and use the $$$ made for the 3.4 swap like mentioned... at least that's what I would do...

you guys think the money i get from parting out my engine will be even close to enough for a 3.4 swap?

CJM

Not really, I spose the misc parts you could sell off the 3.0 may get you about 500 bones. Course selling it for scrap could net just as much possibly.

im really considering parting the whole truck. got more money in repairs than upgrades, but it does have a stage 2 procomp ifs lift, decent rims and tires soo i dont know. part out engine or whole truck, big question, and only being in college funds are always low.

Well, you could just find a donor truck with the right stuff you need for cheap. Someones rolled truck or rusted out truck would work.

The lift and other stuff is worth it imho.

Or you could just put it to the side and buy a cheap beater for now, then go back to it.

i would like to put it aside and work on it later and drive a beater but dont have money now as it is for a beater, and am not in the mood to pull a loan, from the bank or my old man. think i might visit my old man and see what he suggests, i need a ride though, %@#$!!
