The engine is suspect at best, spelled TOAST. Engine in a truck behind the shop that has mine for $3000. 155K mi motor. Mine had 125 so not much trade there. Reman motor on the office floor I could have at their cost for $8400. Oh, but it has a new turbo.... I heard the one in the back of the shop run. It idled anyway. Roached the transfer case, which locked up, and snapped the driveshaft and flogged the trans to pieces but the engine is still ok. $5600 out the door. I am so upsidedown in this thing. Thanks for the help and research.
Oh, they tried to imply that my TSPerformance chip, set on +75 horsepower may have been the culprit. The Bullydog chip that came out of it was rated higher than that. I let them know and that ended that line. Shop owner, who drove the truck, claimed he didn't know it had a chip at all. The mechanic doing the work said today he knew it had something in it because of all his experience with the whole range of 7.3s he's dealt with.
Aaron, the one in Charlotte had missing parts and other issues but thanks for the heads up.
