bought a dud.

[pudil45]

bout my truck in october, and i already have to put about 6k$ into it. i just need to get some ideas if that is a right price. 1400 for new oil pan, 1110 for rear engine seal replacement, and 2500 for new cylinder head gaskets. help. truck was 8800 and is it worth just buying a new truck?

Why is it 1100 to put in a rear seal when your doing the oil pan?

[pudil45]

thats just what global automotive in fairfax ia told me. i didnt understand that either. they also said it needed a new clutch with that seal to.

It sounds like someones guessing where the oils coming from. Take it somewhere else for a 2nd.

Did you know these problems exhisted when you bought it? Sounds like you got it cheap.

Bring it to me, we'll find the oil leak.

They will do all of that at one time. It will not cost that much. They have to pull the motor to do the oil pan so they can do the headgaskets and the rear seal at the same time and drastically lower the cost. You need to take it to a real mechanic shop and let them tell you what you need.

Yep, sounds like about $2500 for some o-rings to me...

I'd strongly want to know why they feel it needs a new pan and rear seal. Why did you take it in the shop in the first place?

Head gaskets would be more obvious than the other two. For that much work your truck must run like crap?
