I have a 2009 1500 with 262,000 on it. I purchased the lifetime bumper to bumper warranty with the truck in '09 and it has paid for itself many time over. In fact, due to the "Hemi - Tick" they replaced the engine last summer. So now I have an 09, lifetime warranty, new engine, rust -bucket. As much as I want a new one, It is hard to go from no payments, no maintenance fees (except the normal brakes etc) to the exact opposite. Especially since I have a new motor. My question is, do I look for a newer truck with a ton of miles, no rust, and swap engines? Is that doable and worthwhile? I would really like to do a frame-off restoration, but cannot find a body guy who will do it. Let me know your thoughts.
