You may remember THIS THREAD about getting a rebuilt motor with 33K on it and a C6 Tranny for $500.00, and was planning on having it installed in my truck,..
Well, It seems that I was fibbed to,... ..The guy that I got it from (john) is friends with the owner of a junk yard and that is where he got it. Last week I went to the junk yard for some other parts, and was shooting the breeze with the owner. I told him that I knew John, and that I bought the 7.3 Diesel motor from him. At that point I was hoping that he would confirm John's story about 33K on the motor. Well guess what, that is the first that he heard of that. He knew that it was a good running motor, but it wasnt rebuilt. If it was he would have kept it for his diesel yard truck.
He has no reason the lie to me, John does.
SO,...I will be keeping my motor. Today I droped off both trucks to Ken, and he is just going to swap trannys for me, not motors. Then he will install the junkyard 7.3 in the 94 F250.
I still feel that I got a good deal for the motor and tranny, just would have been nice if I didn't get lied too.
Just wanted to vent a little..
