My '06 K2500 6.0L Heart Transplant
Well, the ol' Silverado 6.0L crapped out on me last week and spun a rod bearing. This truck is just shy of 300K on the odometer. I've owned it since '08 and most of those miles are mine. We have been up mountains, across rivers, and all over the PNW with many adventures camping, hunting and fishing.
My stepson and I are going to yard the engine out this weekend and looking at options on what to do next. There are remans available from many sources for right about $3,500. To rebuild it including machine work is going to be pretty much the same thing, so it's a wash. However, I do like knowing what is in there as I am the one putting it together.
Just curious, what you guys would do?
Gary
