Reasons to Maintain Your Motor

HemiBabe · Jun 29, 2012

Well... my stepdad has an 04 QC Hemi... he never (and I mean never) maintains his truck, cleans it, or anything. He's the type of person to just start it and go and that's all.

So last night it finally caught up to him. His truck over heated, and so he put some water in it, turned around to come back home, then it started makin all kinds of noise and died. And now it won't start. All I can do is kinda laugh because he never checks fluid levels, etc. I'm pretty sure the motor is fried...
What do yall think?

Anyways, this is a good reason to keep an eye on things with your truck lol :crazy:

kK buy it from him, put your motor in his truck and build you a stroker for yours

HemiBabe · Jun 29, 2012

^^Interesting... LOL but it's not paid off yet... he may be trading it in, It wont even crank over lol

KGBIGCOUNTRY · Jun 29, 2012

They will give him scrap value prob unless its a shop who wants to install a motor. I doubt the motor on that truck would even be worth the block unless its hot tanked then bored. Junkyard motors are round 2,500 on up depending on the mileage. I vote the first idea lol or sell him your motor and put that towards a motor for yours.

Yeah.... i dunno, we'll see what they say. I'm really saving my money to get into a house hahha my truck has to be on the back burner

2WD? What kind of miles on the rest of the truck.

HemiBabe · Jun 29, 2012

Yeah its a 2wd, i think it has like in the 70s... his truck is a disaster area inside. He doesn't take care of vehicles very well... but i really want a house vs a badass motor unfortunately.

*tear*

Dang that sucks, my parents are the same way but they never keep a vehicle that long for it to catch up with them

HemiBabe · Jun 29, 2012

Well they just called and said it's blown head gaskets and they're thinkin the heads are warped

Hemitom · Jun 29, 2012

So what ended up happening to the truck? Did he get everything fixed or a new truck?

Sagebrush2500 · Jul 20, 2012

Yeah - now I'm curious as well.

HemiBabe · Jul 20, 2012

OH! sorry to leave yall hangin lol

Well, come to find out the motor was fried, the pistons were screwed and they wanted $5k to fix it obviously. So, he traded it in on a 2011 Ford Crew Cab 4x4 since his buddy works at a Ford dealership, they were the only ones really wanting his Dodge with a blown motor lol

Sagebrush2500 · Jul 20, 2012

Guess now you can see if he can run 70K in a Ford without any maintenance.

HemiBabe · Jul 20, 2012

HAHA +1! The truck is lucky if it even gets washed. smh

bloombloom88 · Jul 21, 2012

Why would anybody want to switch from dodge to ford? That's something I'll never understand..
