I had a knocking in the front of my truck. Turns out a piston ring broke and scored the wall. Looking at around $16,000 CAD to put a new engine in it
The truck had less than 100,000Kms. The work would be done by the dealership. I'm guessing it comes with a warranty but still makes me nervous investing that sort of money into a 2015 vehicle.
The truck was babied. Would a lift and larger tires contribute to the engine failure or moreso transmission issues. I had $10,000 of work done last year but was mostly "90%" covered under a third party warranty and some of that was transmission related.
Was hoping to drive this thing into the ground and get a sports car for the Summer but might need a new truck now
I m contemplating getting the engine fixed and selling it - maybe just selling as-is too not sure what a dealer would give me
Can much additional harm come from it if I keep driving? Needs a new engine so can't get much worse. Runs fine minus the knocking haha
