R.I.P S10

Post by nebby58 »

Just got word today that a problem with my truck's engine would require a complete rebuild to fix. Looks like this is the tipping point. I can no longer keep it. Thanks to all of you who have helped me with the projects I have done on it, I really appreciate your help.

Sad to hear it go. If you change your mind...Used engine.

Rebuilding an engine doesn't cost as much as a whole new car, does it? Get it fixed!!!!

I have just found out that I was misinformed on my options. The good news is that the cheapest option is the most convenient one for me. A used engine with almost the same amount of miles! I have decided to keep the truck. I'm in too deep to let go of it now. The engine swap should be done in two weeks.
