It may be regional on what sells better in certain areas. The guy was able to hear my motor run and was willing to pay $1500 for the motor. As far as 6.9s, they run anywhere from $900 to $1200 around here. What some people do around here is just buy a complete truck and use the parts they need and then sell the remains. You can buy a good running truck for $1500 around here, but you go and try to find parts and your back to paying @ $1200 for just a motor. I blew a motor, well, dropped a valve, in my 93 Ford turbo diesel about a year ago and had a hard time finding a good 6.9 motor for under $1200. I live in a area where diesel vehicles are very popular ie. farmers, ranchers, construction companies, ect. That may be the biggest reason for the higher motor prices I see around here. Your best bet is to have David94idit blow his motor because we know he is willing to shell out big money for a motor if he's in a bind. Get his number and keep it on speed dial. I know one thing though, if I found a good 6.9 around here for anywhere around $250, the ink would not be dry on the newsletter ad before I would show up at the front door with the money. I would moth ball that 6.9 and store it for a rainy day, doesn't take up that much room. You may someday come across a clean truck with a blown motor for dirt cheap. Slap the 6.9 in it and make you a few extra grand. If you think about it, just the heads off your motor is worth every bit of the $250 your asking for. I sold a 90 Ford diesel dualy to a young guy awhile back and after he had it a few months he knocked a hole in his radiator, overheated the motor and cracked both heads. He found heads for around $300 and $275 for a radiator. He didn't have much money, new wife and baby, so I gave him a set of heads and a radiator that I had moth balled. You would have thought I gave him one of my kidneys. If you don't have to sell it, it's always good to have a spare. Do you mean the power control module for my cummins?
