ORIGINAL: USS America A certain boy is very happy to have his truck back and running after it's engine replacement. A+ Thanks, Mike, but we did end up taking it to our local shop for the last 5% of the work. Some diagnostics, etc. Saved over $1000 by doing the bulk of the work ourselves. Actually, the amount spent was just about the same as the quote from the shop for them to do the entire replacement with a salvage engine that had 140k miles on it. This way, we have a brand new engine in it, along with a new distributor, cables, water pump, etc. It sure sounded great starting up this morning as Alex left for his last day of pre-vacation school.
