  • The Truck is on Death Row

    So today I found out that the truck is pretty much toast, or will be if I keep driving it for much longer.

    We took it to get an estimate for replacement of the front ball joints, as well as the exhaust manifold and exhaust system under the truck. As soon as the mechanics drove it into the bay, they got a funny look on their faces, and popped the hood. Come to find out that the lower crankshaft bearings are completely shot.

    So they handed us two estimates for basically, replacement engines. One for $5,000 with a used engine, and then $7000 for a new engine. Too bad the truck is only worth roughly $2000 currently.

    Those estimates dont even include the three things we origionally went there to get estimates on. Suffice to say, its pretty much the end of the line unless something magical happens.

            In other news, I found some fairly decent seeming ZJs in the 2000-2002 year range, under 100k miles, and for ~$5000, so all is not lost.

                      Its auto, and we had taken it to Meineke for the estimates, so they're the ones who gave us those figures.

                      2250 for 'parts' on the Used, 2200 for labor
                      3933 for 'pats' on the New, and same 2200 for labor

                      And Will, screw you You know what I meant; I found Grand Cherokees in 2000-2002 year range.
