Today, I'm buying a used 04 model v10 to put in my 99.
Engine has 120k miles. And appears to have been taken care of pretty well. Was pulled from a stretch excursion limo to replace with a cummins. The seller seems trustworthy, rund a diesel shop. I'm buying it from the diesel shop I think.
I'm thinking, before it goes in, I should go ahead and do head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, plugs, coils, water pump, oil pump, thermostat, and obviously intake manifold gaskets and throttle body.
The head gasket replacement makes sense, right? Should I do valve stem seals while I'm right there? I do work the dog **** out of this truck. I can get a gasket set with head bolts for $185 shipped.
Anything else that should be replaced before I put the engine in my truck? Anything in planning that's completely unnecessary?
Thanks in advance.
