I expect to easily get 200k from this engine. The original one made it to 206k with zero issues whatsoever until I discovered the infamous cracked heads.
I don't mind sharing. After the core return the reman engine cost $2500, shipping included for both ways. It has a 3 year/100k mile warranty that also pays for labor costs.
The labor I feel like I got a great deal on. It cost $1400 including new misc parts like a radiator, thermostat, block heater, oil, filter, coolant, etc. One of the best parts was that I couldn't even tell that they'd been in there. No paint scratches, oil smudges, left over little parts, nothing. Everything just looked perfect which is perfect because I'm a perfectionist. Since the labor was the best deal I could find I expected it to look hurried and sloppily done. I'm in Billings, MT
