It’s got 180k on the truck but they just had the transmission done in the last year.

B and R also.

I would check around. I've had 2 replaced in the last 2 years. Different vehicles.

Are these places to get a salvage engine? More I think about it the more I am reluctant to tell her to get the same engine with the Active Fuel Management still running.

She got a quote for $6700 foot a salvage motor with 100k miles on it. If Active Fuel Management is that bad, is it likely they’ll be in the same boat in a few more years?
