Far from a financial wizard, but estimating 7k for engine R&R on a 13 year old truck. the KBB is 6k-10k for private party and 4k-6k for trade in. so, the meter is tilting more towards new.

I spent $7,646.89 on Friday for mine. However, they did install the long tube header kit and Melling 360 HV oil pump I purchased.
Regardless, it was worth it to me, I bought her new, and taken care of her along the way.
I look at it as it's the equivalent of about 12 car payments.

Being old school - when we had middle-aged vehicles, we would go buy an engine out of a wrecked truck and swap it ourselves.
Out in 4 hours, In - 5 hours.

I hear you on the payments! Interest or not, still a long road to get to 60 months.

Was that for a Re-manufactured engine removal and replacement? If so, did you go the Ford or Jasper route? Hearing great things about the new HV pumps. thought the 340 HV was the replacement for the 5.4 3 valve?

About the oil pump.......I ordered the 360.....but, I think I received the 340.....and.....I think you might be right! I got the box and dropped it off at the dealership. Need to look but, either way, I got the HV pump for the motor from the get go. I'm really happy so far.

Gents, question for you.
When replacing the 5.4 with a Ford Reman, I was told you also need to make sure they replace the engine solenoids. If not, this voids the Ford warranty. Are you hearing the same? If so, which solenoids need to be replaced?
