finding another motor on CL sounds the easiest and most economical

what, to make dumpbus a runner again?

she's getting parted. I'd rather take parts off and not put them back on at this point.

couldnt you get like 3-4K for your truck as it sits on one of the hot shot forums from some nut wanting the trans swap or something?

I'd expect so - but should be much more in parts.

I don't know if the trans swap is sellable for what I have in it. I'll sit on that for future use if I don't get what I want for it.
There's big money in the complete P7100 IP swap. I'll check on prices to have the pump gone through and maybe have that done. It's got the entire 318k on it.
Lots of other sellable parts too, small and large.

Next immediate steps for me will be clean up under the hood, get the TDI finished and out of the garage, get the Haulmark empty and listed for sale, then start tear down and selling of truck things.

That GC is worth no more than scrap from what i see listed on CL currently- you can buy blown motor ones complete for 800$

yup pretty much. and I think >25hr.

it has some security system glitch in it, couldn't get it to start.

it's a 4.0 - would need a '99 GC as a donor.

It'll 5.3 bowtie power, TDI power, or scrapped.

The bottom fell out of WJs, many many seem to be blowing motors based on craigslist content. probably lack of PM.

this is not a swap- many components mission and or hacked already.


a full doner running truck would be needed.

there was something funky with Immobilizer. I think the ECM may be screwed up, or the security/starter that was in it isn't fully removed.

motor was installed and would crank but timing was way out/something funky/couldn't fire, security light was on when it shouldn't have been...

and yes, some things were "made to work" already.
