I searched the forum and can't find much talk of replacing an engine.
I'm in the Charlotte, NC area but my engine blew while driving back from CO earlier this week. Started knocking and sent a rod through the side of the block. Odd, considering it has all of 125k miles on it. Had been cruise controlling at 70mph at around 2800 rpms.
Anyway, any advice on getting an engine installed? I would consider doing it myself if I knew a lift was not necessary. Anyone know if the engine comes out through the top, front grill area or from the bottom?
Anyone in the NC area have that kind of service done locally?
Right now the vehicle is in KS so I may find someone out that way to do it and fly out and drive home, or I could ship the vehicle to someone to do the work or potentially ship it home and do the work here on my own schedule..
Any thoughts appreciated!
