[QUOTE="Brute 23, post: 1129750, member: 6291"] This is just an opinion... If I were in your shoes... I would try to address the issue and run it in to the dirt. You have between now and then to make plans for another truck. Engine swaps can be done... but... if you don't have right mechanic its a nightmare and you will be money ahead getting a "new to you" truck with lower miles. The only way I would consider a new motor is if I bought a crate motor from GM and had that same dealer install it (which I did). You do an engine swap and start throwing a bunch of codes on these new trucks and you will want to drive it off a cliff just to make the pain stop. Just my .02 :tiphat: [/QUOTE]
