Usually, but they're old trucks anyways. You're not going to find low mileage engines anymore for these trucks. They all have over 100k.

I know, but I don't wanna pay $450 and wind up replacing it in another year.

Then bite the bullet and just buy a remanufactued short block and a gasket set if your heads are suspect then get a long block. They can be had for under a grand and come with a warrenty

I've looked all the options before and long blocks are like $1,500+. My heads should be fine, but that kinda tear-down will take too long.

While new may come with a warranty, there's still no guarantee you won't be doing it again in a year either.

That's a good point.

Sometime in the next few days, I'm going to the pull your own part place to check out their selection. I know they want $165 or $185 for a motor, it might be worth a look, I just don't wanna pull a motor with just what I can carry in.
