I think we're losing sight here.
On the one hand if you were not happy with the truck then yes this would be as good a time, as any, to trade it.
That said keep in mind that this IS a machine that had a part that went bad.
As long as the engine that is replaced, be it a short block or long block, is brand new then no harm no foul!
Yes even a short block COULD fix it. That is on the tech's in the shop.
As for diminished value - nill!!!!
You sound like the type of buyer that stays up on the maintenance of his vehicles.
I would keep all the receipts and, yes, be able to communicate the reason the engine was changed.
Diesels are usually pretty resiliant to what you throw at it. That's why they're such good work horses!
