Reseal Vacuum Pump Install Boost, pyrometer and Trans Temp gauges Installed Fuel Plate Installed Fuel Injectors Cool air Induction Replace Torq Converter, Valve Body, DD Trans Pan Installed Extra Deep Trans Pan Replaced Turbo Extra Exhaust Pipes. Cost $5,500.00 Today, after taking it back to them with a noise 'down low in the engine' I am being told the Main bearings are out and the entire lower engine needs to be replaced. Cost Estimate: $7000+ My question is this: When all the the work in May, should they have known, checked, heard or looked to even see if the engine was in good working order before doing all the upgrades and repairs? way2old Veteran / Moderator Feb 8, 2008, 5:39 AM Post #2 of 5 (1532 views) Re: Ethic's Sign In This is a hard question to answer. But being honest, from May 07 till now is a long time. Also from the repairs you had them complete, I see nothing that would stand out to indicate an internal engine problem. I am sorry to say, but I have to side with the shop on this one. They are not required to check out the entire vehicle to repair the things you wanted done. Also, they could have done everything possible and the engine showed up as mechanically sound. Trying to diagnose an internal engine failure about 9 months in advance is almost impossible. Sorry, but that is my opinion and my opinion only. Wish I could offer better to you. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds Tom Greenleaf Ultimate Carjunky / Moderator Feb 8, 2008, 7:41 AM Post #3 of 5 (1531 views) Re: Ethic's Sign In Ditto, if you are taking a poll. Sorry it's so expensive for you, T DrElectrics Enthusiast Feb 10, 2008, 11:05 PM Post #4 of 5 (1520 views) Re: Ethic's Sign In I am sorry the timing is so bad..anytime you gotta drop $7k+ is a bad time. When a vehicle is sent it to be fixed or upgraded, mechanics and techs do just that. It's only in services or pre-existing problems where they are expected or asked to look at things, do they pick it up. Sometimes you may luck out and when they are doing the test drive, they pick something up, analyse and contact you about it. I am sorry Lando10101 User Feb 12, 2008, 1:32 PM Post #5 of 5 (1509 views) Re: Ethic's Sign In What year is the truck?   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
