Amen. And it’s 6 years with dealer markups, and 8% interest, and having to pay full coverage insurance which goes up every year.

Why is a $4k engine going in a 99 Durango? That's easy... It only costs about 8% of what a new vehicle would cost to keep the old one running. I'm absolutely not a Mopar fan but that's a pretty obvious choice from a financial standpoint alone.

Got a 1999 Durango full loaded, Leather interior. Took it to Mexico twice about 8 thousand miles round trip no issues. Best SUV I got .

Used engine could go out anytime, reman. Engine gives you a 5 yr warranty normally

Because in 99 they made quality engines still and quality vehicles..,it was before the design blunder that exists in all chevys today where the exhaust manifold bolts are a hair too long preventing them from being properly torqued leading eventually to engine failure if the Chevy own uses e85 garbage as fuel and lets it heat those aluminum heads up too high and warping them…,leading to a leak into the back cylinder coil packs…most car owners won’t actually service their vehicles like they’re supposed to and will drive them with the misfire too long and then the cylinder burns out the rings and loses compression in the back cylinders…the Chevy express vans 2008 it’ll be cylinder 7…,

Love these channels actually watching mechanics work their magic

If you can afford it and want a for sure warrantied engine in stock spec. Get a remanufactured long block. If you can't afford it. Then see what kind of deals you can find to either refresh your engine, or find a good used engine with a warranty from a trustworthy source

Used engines scare the crap out of me. Never know how they have been maintained BUT if you check them carefully and know your supplier well, they can sure be lifesaving.. been burnt like hell on them before though even when everything checks out. Sure would be nice to have access to sim tester to wet run it

Does the reman fix the problem that the manufacturer made?

I love your content & how you break everything down, where do you buy your reman engines?

I would try to get a cheap used engine and just replace whatever looks worn most likely is gonna be good to just install without doing anythin😅

Did they kill that motor with milage or neglect? Those old mopar small blocks are hard to kill. Ive had many.

I knew it was a magnum engine, literally impossible to tell tho, 318 or 360. At least from the angles we get

Cars are expensive. If I take care of my car, I can expect over 200,000 miles out of it. One $4000 engine vs. $50,000 it is a no-brainer. Now I have a reliable mechanic. It is s acinch.. I feel for people who don't have one

As a mechanic you have to worry about the integrity of the used motor. To go through all the labor to pull out put in and then have it fail in some way the customer is going to blame you regardless of what ever agreement you had. That said if I was the customer if I didn’t exactly how maintained a used motor is I’d opt for the remanufactured motor.

what company you buy your reman engine from

Learn to rebuild an engine yourself. I've did about 500 of them. You learn a thing or two. In the garage I've got a 454, 390, 351C, 351W, 350 all rebuilt.

A 4 seat get about that runs on gas and ain't parked in the grass is worth at least 4k.

Used engines have cut off connectors, broken ocvs and rusted, cracked oil pans. It’s a blast 👎

Can't *count how many times I've told my service manager, to order another engine/trans, because it was junk (knocking/slipping either in the service bay or on a test drive). after they insist on selling a used to save the cust money. pay me twice and have the cust wait twice as long. Shame. Don't waste time. Not to mention, all the gaskets and bolt on accessories are mandatory replacement for any kind junkyard warranties. Most often, in these situations, buy junkyard parts, u get junk.
