Brand new reman engine in box from Dodge...100,000 mile, 1yr complete coast to coast warranty....just in and out...and a new rad, all new rad hoses for giggles...tech said maybe Thursday, Friday at the latest....be back in service...
Considering I had 4 more yrs out here....you could, by some stretch say this is good timing...
In my room cool and comfy...

BTW engine comes with:
new water pump, and new pulleys, tensioner, fuel injectors, turbo and wiring harness...

My day keeps gettin better....they got the freight ready....too wide. Ive got 49-3/4" width for freight...their freight was 48" wide...before they wrapped 2x4's around it for air freight...lol. So, we angled it in...worked out.

Now, I'm stopped waitin on dispatch's call....they think Ive got the wrong freight...lol.

Judy and Ken...hate to hear that. At least you were prepared and knew it had to go sooner or later. Hope it all works out well.

The engine did not really go....it was the timing chain and oil pump....which they have to pull the engine to begin with...considering 700K...was it really worth it?......

Chris called to see what my eta looks like? Lol.... I was nice

You made the right choice....we just had the conversation last week about you being prepared for it. It's still a surprise though, especially when it doesnt give ya any warning...lol

Thanks Steve....

Kenny....I am convinced it is the right thing....even tho the rad still worked it was original as well...but it is being replaced and all hoses....the whole system will be new...
anyone want a slightly used rad?..Cheap?..LOL

and to think I just did an oil change...what a waste....LOL
