Message:
Well, over the weekend my V6 blew! Anyways, the dealer called and said it needs a new engine and it's under warranty. Shre only had 48,500 on her. Poor thing... Anyhow, I was wonderinf if the dealer would put in a V8 for me and I'd just pay the difference from how the warranty will give me... If it's possible, could anyone tell me the costs of a v6 and v8 (the 318 and 360) My dak is a 97 4x4 so I think the tranny will survive a v8 turnin her. thanx for your input!

Sorry, no dealer would ever be able to do that. It would cost too much any ways. It would needs a better tranny, computer, and much more. Labor and parts alone would be enough just be outright buy a V8. That's the beauty of mass production on assembly lines. Reduces cost. That's one reason hand assembled cars cost so much.

If you look at the date of that one it was a couple of months ago. Tony ended up paying for the V-6 engine. He was told that the 32" tires he had on his truck caused the engine to blow. Think the bill was in the 4k range when all said and done.

Ported 68mm throttle body, IAT adjuster, 3" flowmaster cat back, TPS @ .76V, 4" cold air, Roadmaster active suspention, Removed Third cat. Electric fan Convertion, Awaiting HO cams.
