How many miles on the engine? If you plan on keeping it, to me a new engine would be the way to go, cost might be high but less than a new vehicle for sure.

The odometer reads at 85k miles but I was a victim of an odometer rollback, from what the service department have on record, the last service was 121k 7months before i purchased it, DMV flagged my vehicle with a "not accurate" odometer now when I purchased as a clean title. 

 

my guest the actual mile is probably 135-140k, my other thought process is to fix the minimal to clear all the error and get the truck running again then trade it in for a 23+ 3.0 Diesel or at least a 5.3 with no DFM.

 

Brand new equivalent model 3.0l is about $50k, almost make no sense to pay $45k for a preown. 

 

This truck is probably worth 18-22k and if I'm lucky I can get 15-17k trade in with the branded title assume they take it.

Can you not go back on the seller? Regardless, if you were keeping, I would buy a crate and delete based on my experience so far. I can't speak for others, but I'm considering it and I'm still under warranty after 2 failures.

I bought it from a private seller on Facebook I have since lost all the contacts. I'm not sure how to address it. Even if there's a way it's probably going to be a long winding process probably not worth it.

To drop in a new crate motor, labor is only $1300, I think going with a new long block is my best bet.

 

Can anyone of you recommend on where to get one?

If the truck is in good shape Gangly gave you the answer. Bingo.  If my lifters ever fail and I need a rebuild, I'll just purchase a crate motor.  Cheaper and quicker to do.

That's kind of the route I'm leaning towards but here's the problem we can't even order the motor. Call a friend that have a shop and he said even dealers don't have the long block. 

 

The only one I see that have something right now is promar but it's a reman. 3 years 75k warranty which is fine. 

 

5100 shipped for the motor and 1500 to drop it in. I can live with that. But if I can get new for a little more I'd much rather do that. 

 

Oth, I see lots of 23, 24 motors which I hear doesn't have dfm but don't think they will go in 2019. :(

I found a local shop that can do lifters and camshaft for $3500 parts and labor this will be the route I will likely go.

 

When I asked about DFM delete, he said he would just install all OEM parts and tune the car to permanently disable DFM. 

 

In my mind, this is no different than using the range technology DFM disabler. He can also install the DFM delete for me as well. Labor is 2200 with me providing the kit. 

 

Which way is the way to go?

      Mangoal or FitcamX OEM Dashcam?

      By MANGOAL · Posted

      Late reply, but yes—it works on the SLT trim. Compatibility comes down to the plastic shroud shape behind your mirror, not the trim badge itself. On the SLT with auto-dimming, it uses a plug-and-play Y-harness off the mirror/rain sensor power, so no need to run wires down to the OBD port. If anyone's ever unsure about fitment, just drop a photo of your mirror housing and we can double-check it.   Appreciate the detailed feedback on the install! On the windshield glare—we actually took feedback like yours and developed a dedicated CPL (polarizer) filter to cut down dash reflections on sunny days. If you're still running the cam, shoot me a DM. I'd be happy to send a CPL filter over for you to test out—no charge.

      Yes, every time the developer updates his code, you must recompile. I will private message you with the latest because it changes pretty much with every version.

      Transmission Temperature Hitting 220s

      By Grumpy Bear · Posted

      After I wrote that reply I went for a ride. 85 F out. So trans started at 85 F and it shifted the same as it did an hour latter at 168 F. I've never actually recorded the to cold to shift point but it is under 32 F before they start hanging on to a lower gear or leaving the converter unlocked. Both intended to heat fluid.    Yes, brake or bake. Absolutely.      Your welcome. True research ended decades ago. Field trials are still in play.    There is a thing called oxidation onset temperature. This is the heat related oxidation not the O2 exposure kind. For mineral oil that starts at 140 F. So what happens after 140 F? Each 20 F cuts fluid life in half! Does using a Full Synthetic improve that? Yes! By how much? Depends on the base oil type and a few other factors. But enough to notice. Some esters are even higher. There are even synergies between types the will raise it higher than any one component is alone.    Then there is "Hindered" oils. Antioxidant additives. Hindered Polyol Esters can sit at 500 F for years in a turbine.   When a blender brags his oil will 'take 500 F" in service he doesn't specify for how long. Water will dance on a 500 F hot plate for several seconds. @newdude put up a chart showing the relationship between fluid temperature and it's life in an automatic transmission. Here's a version of that chart for Group III based oils. These temperatures are those in the pan as observed as 'normal'. that is you drive as you do for as long as you do under what load you ask of it and whatever that temperature is this graph applies to. Flash temperatures of a few minutes isn't what his means.    Note that fluids held at a constant 240 F have a service life of only 20K miles. 220 F explains the factory exchange limit, eh? My equipment I keep under 180 F and I'm good if the cooler will hold it as low as 140 F. But that's me.
