What to do .....

I bought a 97 xtracab 4x4 dually
last year, 454 auto, over 200K miles
drug it home
apparently there was water in the oil
motor has siezed up. just wondering if the truck is worth
pulling motor, rebuilding motor,
or
parting truck out?
or selling truck whole as it is..
guess it would be a no brainer if i didn't have another
running truck which needs nothing and I really don't want
to spend access cash right now. not the best time of the year
for the wallet.......so if you was in this situation
would you fix then sell, sell as is, part it out

Re: What to do .....

If I was you, I would probably sell or possibly give it to that guy, uh, whats his name.....get me on the road. I think he even passes through cincinati on his way to visit some of his family up north of you. Huh, now that I think about he's going to be passing through there in a couple of days. But thats just my opinion. On the serious side if you do decide to sell it, please PM me with a price.

Well if you got something else to work on, and your not going to put the dually in storage I would just sell it.
