yeah, motor is gone, got a couple of quotes, one is a Jasper Engine for @3800 plus labor and fluids etc.. or a LKQ engine for 3300 plus labor and fluids... I think we are looking at about about 950 labor and @ 400 for fluids/water pump, other incidentials.. so either 5300 for a Jasper or 4800...

well, its been awhile since i've posted, I havent driven my 2000 F250 for a bit, saving up for a new flexplate install, and finally got one scheduled. Well finally got it started, ( bad starter as well as bad teeth on flexplate) and started the drive to the garage. I knew this was too much for...
