About a month ago my engine started loosing coolant. My regular dealer insisted that I had to replace the radiator, intercooler and other related parts including the AC condenser. I chose to wait for a second opinion, while I waited for my other mechanic I swapped the coolant reservoir cap. The cap was supposed to hold 21psi however it did not. After changing the cap I drove about 50-60 miles and a low oil pressure light came on. I stopped the vehicle checked my fluid levels and everything was good including the coolant level which had not dropped any more. Drove maybe 4-5 more miles with no lights on the dashboard, the oil pressure light was off. Then the low coolant level indicator came on followed by the low oil pressure light and a loud banging clunking sound. The engine gave up. The engine was checked by the nearest ram dealer and now they say the engine has ceased and needs to be replaced. So far they are saying it will be done under power train warranty. They say a remanufactured engine will be installed.
My question for the community is, should I agree to have a remanufactured engine installed or do I have options?
Are there any tips about what I should be watching for during and after the repairs?
