I hate shotgun mechanics alsmost as much as I hate shotgun doctors! I always tell them, "If you don't know what's wrong, figure it out before you start changing stuff or I will find someone who does know what's wrong." I'm the only one allowed to do that with my truck. After all, they are getting paid to know what's wrong.

tried to get the ol ford back today... what a fight. The bills a little better, 2951 to be exact... but that still seems like alot, not to mention all the money ive lost from not having my truck around... ive been banned from the property so the lawyers handling it from here. Hopefully i get her back soon (really soon) im startin to miss that smell.

SO they kept your truck, and banned you from the property? Sounds to me like they just stole your truck. I hope you get it back soon. Sorry to hear about all this. Make sure your lawyer sues for the cost...and lawyer fees!!! And damages...(Money lost while they were working on your truck.)

12K is usually the out the door price. I knew a guy that drove his 220,000 mile 7.3 with a piston in the pan and one just burned out to a shop and the shop fixed just the 2 cylinders and the guy was on his way. He got an exhaust and programmer after it got rebuilt and haven't had one problem yet.

Buy or Sell your Diesel Engine - diesel engine motor.com Try this sight rebuilt engines are about 3 to 4 K rebilt and garenteed, also have ones just pulled or in aout any state or dis repair or repai you want. I think its a super shaft and you shouldhave done something long b4 this........ Bill Best of luck 2u

Item #2437 is a number of a 7.3 ltr engine comes with everything 1900 $ The guy selling it is John Dow at S&K Marine in Prescot WI came out of a wrecked f350.. shold be about 250 to 400 shipping according to where you live.............. So these tings can be gotten 4 a lot less than whoever s messing with you is saying............... Bill

Sounds like it'd be better to just get a rebuilt engine. Quicker and less hassle than doing it yourself. But hey, i'm the drunk one here so maybe I'm reading it differently.

I think someday when i get her back ill just replace the one piston, poor truck dosent even have 100,000 on her yet...

just stearted reading your thread..sounds like you took your rig to Allegheny Ford in Pittsburgh. if you're still having probs with it, and you're within driving/towing distance, get it down to Scott (scuffy) at Trucks unlimited in Winston-Salem, NC. He'll get er fixed right, the first time. Scott's an honest to god mechanic who actually KNOWS what he's doing!
