update of 5.7 engine rebuild

[JoshsRam]

@CrasherAsher - I'm not sure if it's possible but if it is, I would suggest going back to your first post and change it so that it states "NOT" to use these guys just in case someone only reads your first post. Sorry you're having to go through this, I've dealt with some shady people in the aftermarket and it's never fun.

@JoshsRam it wont let me edit that post i will talk to the administrator and see if they can help me out.

The best you’ll ever get out of a engine rebuilder is going to be a refurbished engine , they’ll install your cam and top-end parts but most of what they sell is only inspected as sight unseen, ( to make it affordable ) and if it turns over they put lipstick on it ( in your choice of color) and call it a day.

One of the red flags to let you know when you are dealing with a remanufactured service is the stipulation of a heat “tabs” installed that distort in order to detect abnormal temperatures for warranty purposes.

The whole reason for them to mention this is because this is the conditions of warranty for them to follow from the contracted refurbished engine supplier….

A half decent rebuilder ( engine machine shop ) would make certain the recipient vehicle’s cooling system be more than adequate to handle engine break in temperatures.

He paid a shop to, "upgrade" and rebuild his engine. He expected to have a working engine with the modifications he asked and paid for.

Obviously these idiots that did the work had no idea what they were doing or Crasher would have a working truck again.

Sucks he spent so much money on this. Hope it works out for him.

Maybe he should check his VIN Numbers for $5000 I believe you can purchase a new short-block

Once again thank you guys for all your help. I am getting my truck back form the shop today (8/31/22) the motor is in pieces. Arizona Engine wont fix it unless i cough up another 4k.
So i am bring my truck home and going to find another way to get it fixed. And buying a crate engine might be my best bet.

that blows, to say the least. So they are basically saying you voided your warranty on the maiden voyage home!?.....how?
