The rebuilt engines have a reputation such that I would avoid them, unless you rebuild it yourself. The brand new, Mopar non-MDS long block from Modern Muscle Extreme or Brian Tooley Racing, is priced close enough to the reman units to make the question more of a question of New vs Used.

I'd go new, Mopar non-mds, unless you can find a good deal on a low mileage used engine.
what is wrong with your current engine? these are very easy engines to repair often cheaper to fix. What is the mileage on the truck? You can try junk yards for a used one just look for the lowest milage engine here is the site that linkes all yards together
it's a 5.7 v8 with 172543 miles on it I bought it used and the car fax is just on the maintenance and not how one drove the vehicle The mechanic said the one of the rings slipped a little bit in the piston area. Now that was one mechanic, and he said after a rebuild kit and labor cost it would be about the price to get a reman one an thank you for the info I will check it out
i think you need to take it somwhere else a ring slipped? LOL yea no.. maybe it dropped a valve? did it run still? I know how mechanics are in PA just double check your diag.
yeah, it still runs the code that came up on my obd reader is I believe is p2098 and I read what it was an there is no hesitating in ideal, and I was planning on taking it to another shop I went and picked it up already. An thanks again for that site incase I do or need to go that route.
ahahah yea if it still runs it did not 'slip a ring'
I can highly recommend AK_trucks_pa in Marcus Hook PA.
Can someone enlighten me? Been working on engines for 60 years and "slipped a ring" is a new one to me.
“One of the rings slipped a little bit”?
exactly Lol for some reason PA has some of the worst mechanics when it comes to ripping people off I think it stems from the vehicle inspection situation over there just my opinion.
A slipped ring falls under the old adage: "If you can't dazzle them with brilliance, baffle them with bull$it"!

There is your correct answer, you may have a broken ring, But who knows, a compression test may show something.
