    Don't buy a "pretty cheap" engine without pulling the pan and inspecting the bottom end,because you could end up with an "ugly expensive" door stop if you don't

    Find out if they will guarantee the block/heads to be crack-free. I'd pay a little extra to have them pull the pan to check for main web cracks. Maybe a compression test???

    Will they pay return shipping if the engine or cyl heads is/are defective? Jim

    a quick google got the review page...
    Buyer beware...
    Especially with a big heavy 6.5 with known weaknesses
    Could get lucky....
    Could go to Vegas instead and win a pile of money and just buy new.

    YIKES!
    Most of the reviews are horrible, especially about the warranty! Unless I fall into a pile of cash I don't need, this baby is done. I can't spend 5K+ fixing it.

    Who sells 6.5 TDs new? I'm not looking forward to my engine croaking as I plan on driving this truck until I croak.
